Introducing the Next Generation of DTS Screw Blanchers: Unmatched Reliability, Lower Maintenance Costs and Less Product Breakage

DutchTecSource (DTS), a leading innovator and supplier in blanching, cooling, and cooking technologies for the food processing industry, is excited to announce the launch of its newly redesigned screw blancher. This upgraded version of the DTS screw blancher offers significant benefits, including enhanced reliability, reduced product breakage, and a decrease in maintenance costs. After intensive field testing , the blancher 2.0 is now ready for introduction to the world.

Extensive Testing for Maximum Reliability

Before unveiling the new screw blancher, DTS carried out an extensive 1.5-year testing period at real-world production sites. This in-depth testing ensured that the new machine not only met, but even exceeded expectations in terms of performance, reliability, and productivity. The machine was subjected to high-capacity, 24/7 operations, processing even the most delicate products, such as twisted fries, 6×6 mm fries, and waffles.

“This thorough testing allowed us to refine the machine further, ensuring its robustness and superior performance under varied conditions,” explains the team at DTS. “The end result is a machine that is now even more reliable and requires less maintenance than its predecessors.”

Key Improvements and Features

The new DTS screw blancher 2.0 includes several critical updates, designed to enhance both performance and operational efficiency:

No need for a product guide plate: Simplifying the machine’s design and reducing the potential for product damage and mechanical failure
Improved bearing methodology: Ensuring smoother, more efficient operation with reduced wear
Modified seals: Enhancing durability and longevity and reducing maintenance needs

These improvements collectively ensure greater reliability and a more consistent blanching process, which ultimately leads to higher product quality and reduced risk of damage during processing.

Reduced Product Breakage and Enhanced Durability

One of the standout features of the new DTS screw blancher is its ability to reduce the risk of product breakage. Thanks to the optimized mechanical components, the new blancher minimizes the risk of damage to delicate food products, ensuring a smoother and more efficient production process. This breakthrough is especially valuable for high-sensitivity products, such as 6×6 mm fries, twisters and waffles, which can be quickly damaged with less-precise equipment.

Lower Maintenance Costs and Increased Productivity

The newly redesigned blancher also offers significant reductions in maintenance requirements and associated costs. Its robust construction and advanced technical specifications mean that the machine operates with less wear and tear, minimizing the risk of technical failures. The results speak for themselves:

Lower downtime: The blancher operates more efficiently, keeping production lines running longer without interruption
Reduced maintenance costs: Fewer repairs and part replacements translate into lower overall costs for the customer
Increased productivity: With less maintenance, companies can now focus more on production and less on machine maintenance

“Our customers will experience a considerable reduction in both the time and financial resources spent on machine maintenance,” says DTS. “This is a game changer for businesses seeking more efficient, sustainable, and reliable processing solutions.”

Looking to the Future

The launch of the DTS screw blancher 2.0 marks just the beginning of an exciting new chapter for DutchTecSource. The company remains committed to continuous research and development, with plans to launch a range of additional innovative solutions aimed at improving efficiency, durability, and reliability in the food processing industry.
