A Hot Water Blancher is a machine used in food processing to treat vegetables and fruits by immersing them in hot water for a brief period. This process helps in preserving the color, texture, flavor, and nutritional value of the produce, while also inactivating enzymes that could lead to spoilage. Hot water blanching is commonly used before freezing, drying, or canning food. The machine typically features a water bath system, temperature control, and a conveyer or basket system to ensure consistent and efficient processing. This method is especially beneficial for vegetables like peas, carrots, and beans, preparing them for further processing and packaging.
