IBC blanchers offer the lowest consumption of steam. The IBC blancher/cooler with top lift is divided into three main sections: Preheating,blanching and cooling sections and it incorporates a highly efficient heat recovery system developed by Cabinplant. This design is renowned for its extremely low consumption of steam and cooling water.
The heat, which is removed from the product during cooling, is reused for pre-heating of product prior to blanching. In this way the consumption of steam can be reduced to only 40 per cent of what is normally required for blanchers without heat recovery. The IBC blanchers are available for capacities from 6t/h up to 30t/h. A variety of options is available for the blanchers.
