Turatti’s experience in the design and construction of blanching equipment spans more than 50 years. With worldwide installations covering a wide range of products, our expertise in this field is second to none. The optimization of blanching techniques is extremely important in maintaining the quality of the final product, and also in controlling costs. Blanching, or heat penetration to the core of any product, is a function of temperature and time. A shorter blanching time will also ensure a good retention of color, solids, and nutrients. Shorter blanching/cook time than the current industry standards saves energy costs. Our revolutionary design utilizes the proven technology of the closed pipe flume concept without the use of a centrifugal pump for product movement. In this closed flume, the product contact time is accurately controlled, guaranteeing full submersion of the product and a very accurate blanching time. As a result, the blanching is rapid and uniform, delivering a homogeneously prepared product inside the system. The compact design makes it easy to retrofit into existing operations where space may be limited, and the unit improves the blanching operation while minimizing water requirements. The machine is available in different versions (single or combined) depending on the product to be handled and customer requirements.

The main advantages and features of the system are:

• Each system is custom designed.
• Excellent blanching quality.
• Easy regulation of the blanching parameters managed by a PLC with touchscreen display.
• Access to all areas of piping and valves.
• Easy to clean and maintain thanks to a small number of mechanical parts.
• Cheaper and faster C.I.P. system, compared with the other models of blanchers.
• Possibility to blanch both floating than not floating products.
• Higher yield and increased efficiency.
• Reduced operating costs.
• Short product changeover time.
• Combined blanching and cooling in one unit.
• Automatic temperature control.
