Cooking, Mixing and Vacuum Cooling

PEACE OF MIND THROUGH PROOF OF CONCEPT

Blentech in the UK and Ireland

Blentech’s cookers, mixers and process equipment have earned a global reputation for quality and performance. However, until recently, because of the limited size of their rental fleet, only a select few have been able to test the equipment. The Innovation center changes that. Visit them at their new processing facility, located in the heart of California’s wine country in the state of the art hygienic food processing facility to see a demo and tour a facility using Blentech equipment.

If you are unable to travel then live streaming and filming of the trial is also possible.

They offer the following standard demonstrations at no cost to you. Applications range from Rice to Pie Filling. For some projects a general demonstration just isn’t enough as you may need to prove your process with your ingredients or replicate your recipe so custom demos are also available at a charge.

Located in California Wine Country at their Global Corporate Headquarters, the Blentech Innovation Center provides demonstrations, training, testing and research services.

Blentech Goes Green

They recently introduced a solar panel energy conservation programme, they are currently installing 580 LG electric solar cell panels with a 150,800 kW capacity. Their goal is to produce up to 222,279 kWh annually to supply both their manufacturing space and offices with all the electricity required for normal operations. This state of the art technology allows them to harvest energy from the bright Northern California sun.

Seven out of every ten days is sunny in Santa Rosa!

Lowering their energy consumption and costs will make their operations more effective and this will translate to savings for future Blentech customers here in the UK

Horizontal Cookers

Why buy Horizontal Cookers when similar sized Kettles are cheaper?

Horizontal cookers have a number of important benefits over hemispherical kettles:

  • Larger surface area ( nearly 30% more for 500L) resulting in quicker heat up times
  • Better mixing capabilities giving more evenly cooked product
  • Slower agitator speeds minimising damage to  particulates visibly improving product quality
  • efficient scraper system reducing product burn on

Paragon will be exhibiting a single shafted Blentech Horizontal Cookers at the Foodex event this month.

Come and see the Blentech Blentherm on our stand L353 in Hall 20 at Foodex and discuss your processing needs directly with the manufacturer.

This machine is ideal for cooking:

  • Soups
  • Sauces
  • Fruit Pie Fillings
  • Onions

The Blentech range also includes both batch and continuous machines for:

Asian sticky rice – pilau rice – meat pie filling  lasagna – analog cheese – mozarella – pasta  hummus – bacon bits and many many more…

Blentech gets published!

Blentech is published in “Thermal Processing of Ready-to-Eat Meat Products

By: Darrell Horn and Daniel Voit”

“In order to understand the root cause of cooking problems, a discussion of the factors affecting heat transfer is necessary. There are several processing factors that will influence the transfer of heat into cooked product ”

Blentech Corporation was founded in 1986 by former Olympian Darrell Horn to serve the equipment needs of the food processing industry.  Starting with the invention of the automatic grape harvester that revolutionized the agricultural methods of the wine industry, This was Darrell’s next chapter in a lifetime of food processing innovation serving to improve industrial methods every step of the way.

Their  initial product line included batch blenders and product transfer equipment. The company has since grown to become a leading manufacturer of custom food processing equipment with core competencies in blending, massaging and marinating and thermal processing technologies.
