Vegetable Processing Plant

Blanching sets colour, halts the enzyme activity that causes off-flavours in storage, and softens produce enough for the stages that follow. This blanching machine is built in stainless steel throughout for that duty, where hot water and steam are constant and corrosion resistance is not optional. The machine is specified for straightforward operation and consistent output over a long service life, with dimensionally accurate construction and simple installation. Stainless steel construction also means the unit can be cleaned down to the standard food production requires between batches. It is supplied new and packed in a wooden case for export. Tell us the produce you are blanching, your throughput per hour and whether you are working to water or steam, and the specification can be confirmed against that.

An industrial vegetable cutter handling 200 to 400 kg per hour across four cutting actions: slicing, dicing, mincing and shredding. Cut thickness runs above 8 mm and cut length is adjustable from 1 to 20 mm, so the same machine covers everything from fine shred for salad packs to dice for ready meals. That adjustability is the reason a single cutter can serve a mixed production line. Where a processor runs several products off one shift, changing cut geometry on the machine is faster and cheaper than keeping separate equipment for each, and the 200 to 400 kg per hour band sits at the scale where that flexibility matters most. The machine is built in stainless steel and operates semi-automatically, with the operator feeding and the machine cutting. It is supplied for commercial and industrial kitchens and for vegetable processing lines.

A stainless steel fruit washer for the food and beverage industry, built as the first wet stage of a processing line. Washing carries more weight than its position in the line suggests: field soil and surface residue carried into a cutter or pulper end up in the finished product, and no later stage removes them. The unit is made to high tensile strength and dimensional accuracy, and is corrosion resistant, which is the practical requirement for equipment that sits in water every production hour. Maintenance demand is low. Supply voltage is customised to the destination, so the washer can be built to the electrical standard of the country it is shipped to rather than needing a transformer on site. It is supplied new in standard seaworthy packing. Send your throughput and the produce you are washing and the specification can be set against it.

A heat pump vegetable dryer machine drying vegetables, fruit, herbs and spices using heat pump technology, which recovers heat from the extracted moist air rather than exhausting it.

The heat pump argument is energy cost. A conventional hot air dryer throws away the heat in its exhaust continuously, while a heat pump recovers much of it, typically cutting energy use substantially over a long drying cycle. It also dries at lower temperature, which retains colour, aroma and vitamin content better, and that matters for product price. Drying is slower as a result.
