Steaming (Blanching) and Cooling of Ready-To-Cook Potato Products

Processing Equipment Manufacturer FoodeQ has developed a system that first steams (blanches) the products very hygienically and then cools it, primarily intended for the production of chilled products. By blanching the product the food is precooked and disinfected by the saturated steam.

Because of the seamless transition – as a result of the combined band conveyor belt for the steamer and the cooling tunnel – the system remains clean at all times and the cooling tunnel is a real high care zone.
