In vegetable and food processing, proper blanching followed by rapid cooling is important for maintaining product quality and improving processing efficiency.
This industrial blanching and cooling line combines a steam-heated blanching section, lifting conveyor and two continuous cooling sections into one integrated production system.
The material is continuously conveyed through the equipment. During blanching, steam heating provides controlled thermal treatment. After blanching, the product enters the first and second cooling machines for continuous temperature reduction before subsequent processing such as:
The two-stage cooling system helps provide a longer cooling path and can be configured according to different product capacities and processing requirements.

The steam blanching machine is the core thermal-processing section of the line.
It uses steam heating to provide continuous and uniform heat treatment. The stainless steel mesh belt transports the product through the blanching chamber.
A pressure belt can help keep the product within the desired conveying path during processing.
Steam Heating
Steam is used as the heating medium for continuous thermal processing.
Long Effective Processing Length
The machine provides an effective processing length of approximately 8000 mm, providing sufficient residence time for different food products.
Wide Processing Belt
The effective width is approximately 1200 mm, making the machine suitable for continuous industrial food processing.
Bubbling & Water Circulation
The equipment is equipped with an air pump and bubbling system, together with a filtered water tank and front water pump.
304 Stainless Steel
Food-contact and main structural components are constructed from 304 stainless steel.
