Continuous screw cooker & blancher Lab Mini
The tabletop continuous screw cooker & blancher is designed for continuous thermal processing of small batch products and powders in research laboratories, pilot production facilities, and food development centers. It provides controlled cooking or blanching with a continuous product flow, making it ideal for recipe development, process optimization, and small-scale production.
- Continuous operation eliminates repeated loading and unloading of baskets
- The processing time can be controlled by adjusting the screw speed
- Gentle product transport minimizes mechanical damage
- Compact stainless steel construction for pilot plants, small businesses
- Suitable for vegetables, fruits, rice, pasta, legumes, seafood, meat products and other food applications
The screw cooking / blanching machine is designed for continuous thermal processing of food products with accurate process control, repeatability and gentle product handling.
Products move continuously through the heated chamber by means of a stainless steel screw conveyor (unlike traditional batch blanchers). This eliminates downtime associated with filling, lifting and emptying baskets while ensuring uniform processing conditions for every product passing through the machine.
The compact design makes the unit particularly suitable for pilot plants, universities, research laboratories, food development centers and manufacturers developing new products before scaling up to industrial production. The stainless steel construction ensures hygienic operation and easy cleaning after production.
Residence time can be adjusted by changing the screw rotation speed, allowing the same machine to process products requiring different cooking or blanching times.
The basic version includes:
- Stainless steel processing chamber
- Stainless steel screw conveyor
- Electric heating system
- Temperature control system
- Adjustable screw speed
- Product inlet section
- Product discharge system
- Stainless steel supporting frame
- Emergency stop
- Food-grade stainless steel construction
Applications
Suitable for continuous processing of dense or moderately firm foods, as well as small-piece ingredients, including:
- root vegetables and firm vegetables (small whole, diced, stripped, or sliced);
- chopped vegetables, fruits, and mushrooms;
- seafood;
- other bulk foods requiring uniform blanching or continuous cooking.
Advantages
Continuous processing significantly improves productivity compared to traditional basket blanchers by eliminating the repeated loading, lifting and unloading of baskets required in conventional batch blanchers.
- Adjustable residence time allows precise control of cooking or blanching depending on product requirements.
- Uniform product quality is achieved because every product remains inside the processing chamber for the same controlled period.
- Gentle screw conveying minimizes product damage during transportation through the machine.
- Compact footprint makes the machine suitable for installation on a simple work table.
- Easy cleaning and sanitation thanks to the hygienic stainless steel construction.
- Ideal for product development before investing in full-scale industrial screw cookers & blanchers.
- Consistent process repeatability enables reliable testing of recipes and production parameters.
