Protein
Custom solutions for protein products.
DTS builds custom blanching systems and auger conveyors for protein products such as chickpeas and other pulses. Robust and hygienic, for the wet part of the line and for frozen product.
An auger that is easy to clean and needs little maintenance, often a smarter alternative to a belt or elevator.

Solutions for every protein product
Your challenge, our solution
Hygienic conveying, low maintenance costs
Hygiene is critical in protein processing. Our auger conveyors are often preferred over belts or bucket elevators, because they are easier to clean and cheaper to maintain.
- Blanching: custom blanching systems for products such as chickpeas, with heat exchanger and controls
- Conveying: horizontal, vertical and inclined augers in almost any capacity
- Hygiene: available with lids, clean-in-place and insulated double-walled housing
- Test facility: process testing and development at our own site
