Rotary drum blancher for industrial food processing
In industrial food processing, achieving uniform blanching or cooking of large quantities of dry beans, vegetables, rice, pasta, and green beans can be challenging. This process requires precise control over retention time and temperature to ensure consistent product quality.
Achieve uniform blanching and cooking with high capacity
The Rotary Drum Blancher by Lyco Manufacturing is specially designed to provide efficient, uniform blanching and cooking of food products such as dry beans, vegetables, rice, pasta, and green beans. The blancher operates with direct steam and features trunnion designs that eliminate shaft breakage. With precise manufacturing, it offers lower maintenance costs and gentle agitation, which reduces losses from pasta clumping by 10% to 15%. This advanced system supports large volumes with higher capacity in a smaller footprint and allows for retention time control ranging from 2 to 60 minutes. Additionally, the drum blanchers are available in diameters ranging from 36 inches to 72 inches and lengths from 4 feet to 28 feet. Lyco’s focus on energy efficiency means these machines use less energy and water while delivering optimal product quality.
