COOLSTEAM BLANCHER
Low-Temperature Steam Vegetable Blanching Equipment
Food Safety with Optimal Quality
Low-Temperature Steam Blanching Equipment
We've applied 20 years of cooking science experience to rethink blanching. Laitram’s patented CoolSteam® blancher delivers higher quality and food safety with lower energy and water costs than competing technologies.​
​
​Times are changing and blancher validation to achieve a 5-log reduction of Listeria is now a key to a process under control, without affecting the organoleptic characteristics of the end product. The CoolSteam technology offers the perfect balance of efficiency, precise uniformity, flexibility, consistency, and power.

Superior Quality
High-quality end product, thanks to precise temperature controls, low temperature, and forced convection.
![energy water savings](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e8de98_e04bcac9688047e58cf878327528a161~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_86,h_86,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_3,enc_auto/energy%20water%20savings%20.png)
Energy and Water Savings
Almost no water, just steam. Energy efficient with a product to steam ratio of 9:1 lb. Starting times of 1 to 4 minutes.
![yield blancher](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e8de98_944620df0deb4b8ca36d1a01053655f7~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_86,h_86,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_3,enc_auto/yield%20blancher%20.png)
Yield Savings
Precise low temp and forced convection method are used to allow for optimal recipe creation without overcooking the product and losing yield via weight or crumbs.
![CoolSteam Blancher no overcook](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e8de98_250327d95b4a4ba49d38ac71bebd5da7~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_110,h_60,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/OVERCOOKED.png)
Precise Temperature Control within the chamber, below 100°C with a homogenized mixture of air and steam.
The lower-temp environment (55 Ëš -100ËšC) prevents yield loss and flavor on the outside surface.
The product core reaches the lethal temperature range without overcooking the outside surface.
Validation Report conclusion:
"It is gratifying to find temperature profiles within a pasteurizer to be so consistent across the belt width and throughout the process."

Simple and Flexible Emphasis on Food Safety
CoolSteam produces a uniform and consistent blanch thanks to forced convection, the chamber design, and the homogenized mixture of air and steam in the chamber, even with bed depths of 17+cm.
Tested side by side against other blanchers, no cold spots, no peroxidase positives, the lethality of 5+logs.
Our Patented design with product repositioning (flips) allows for the ultimate control of food safety and quality assurance. Wide-open areas with doors on both sides for easy cleanability and access. Solid 316 stainless steel, easy to clean more corrosion resistant and low maintenance.
