Mealworm Blanching Machine

 

Blanching machine is a kind of equipment used in food processing, mainly used for pre-treatment of raw materials such as vegetables, fruits, meat, etc. through short-term heat treatment. Its core purpose is to quickly inactivate enzymes, sterilize, maintain color and texture through high temperature, and at the same time extend the shelf life of food or prepare for subsequent processing (such as freezing, dehydration, canning). Blanching machine has a wide range of uses and can be used for blanching fruits and vegetables, and can also be used for pasteurization and pre-cooking of products. Mealworm blanching machine can pre-treat yellow mealworms during insect food processing or feed production. It is widely used in insect breeding enterprises, feed processing plants, food companies or biotechnology enterprises.

1. The whole mealworm blanching machine is made of 304 stainless steel, with reasonable design, safe and reliable operation, compact structure, small footprint, easy operation, convenient maintenance and simple installation.
2. The mealworm blanching machine runs smoothly, stepless frequency conversion speed regulation, and low noise. The stainless steel mesh belt has high strength, low elasticity, is not easy to deform, and is easy to maintain.
3. The mealworm blanching machine has a compact structure, easy operation, low failure rate, and adopts two heating methods: electric and steam. It is particularly suitable for continuous blanching and killing operations, and can also be used for steaming.
4. The equipment uses variable frequency reducers at both ends, and the middle variable frequency machine takes over, driving the transmission shaft to pull forward and send backward, reducing the tension of the transmission device, so that the conveyor belt can operate. This can save energy and reduce the tension of the belt, extending the service life.

 

1. Blanching can quickly kill the larvae and prevent the insect body from moving or deteriorating during subsequent processing (such as drying and crushing).
2. High temperature treatment can reduce the risk of contamination by bacteria, mold, etc., and improve the hygiene and safety of the product (especially when used for food or high-protein feed).
3. Fix the protein to prevent the insect body from rotting or changing color during the drying process.
4. Soften the tissue to facilitate subsequent defatting, crushing or molding (such as making protein powder, insect snacks).
5. When yellow mealworms are used as food, mealworm blanching machine can reduce the "raw fishy smell" of insects and improve palatability.
6. Maintain color and prevent the insect body from turning black due to enzymatic reactions (similar to the principle of blanching vegetables to prevent browning).
7. After enzyme inactivation and sterilization, insect protein is more stable and suitable for long-term storage.
8. The blanched mealworms can also be used directly as fresh feed for reptiles (such as lizards and birds), or further processed into dried worms.
