AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing spiral blanching machines for food processing suffer from heat waste and uneven heat exchange during operation, leading to a decline in food quality, especially in handling delicate and thick-walled ingredients.

Method used

A waste heat recovery mechanism is installed between the blanching machine body and the storage bin. The heat generated by the blanching machine is transferred to the storage bin using a spiral tube and an air supply component to preheat the food in the storage bin, thus achieving secondary utilization of heat.

Benefits of technology

Reduce energy waste, lower heating energy consumption, avoid cell rupture and morphological damage to food caused by sudden heating, and improve food quality.
