In the production of fruit and vegetable processing, vegetable blancher is an essential key equipment, mainly used in the pretreatment of vegetables, fruits and other materials, to help maintain their color, texture and remove odors. And one of the most concerned issues for customers in the procurement process is nothing more than blanching machine price. So, what are the core factors affecting the price of the machine?
Equipment Structure Design Directly Affects the Cost
The structural form of the tomato blanching machine is the primary factor affecting the price. Common structures include tunnel-type blanching machines and lifting belt-type blanching machines. Like Lonkia's vegetable blancher, made of 304 stainless steel, the whole machine is a one-piece tunnel structure, with strong processing capacity. This design is compact, but the manufacturing process requires a higher degree of processing accuracy, welding process and the amount of steel used will significantly affect the price of the equipment.
In addition, whether or not the inclusion of cooling section, insulation and other modules will also lead to price differences. Although the cost of integrated design is slightly higher, but can effectively improve efficiency and product quality.
Conveyor System and Control Mode Affect Blanching Machine Price
Vegetable blanching machine is usually equipped with food-grade conveyor belts, commonly PP chain plate and stainless steel mesh belt. Chain plate width, thickness, structural layout is different, will affect the mechanical stability and service life, directly reflected in the purchase cost.
In terms of control system, the basic equipment adopts push-button control, while the high-compatibility equipment uses PLC touch screen, which supports automatic temperature control, speed regulation, fault alarm and other functions. The higher the integration of the control system, the higher the level of intelligence of the equipment, the blanching machine price is naturally higher.
Other Additional Configurations Bring Pricing Fluctuations
Whether the equipment is equipped with automatic feeding and discharging devices, hot water circulation systems, quick-connect valves for drainage, safety protection devices, etc., will lead to price fluctuations.
For example, Lonkia offers customers the option of an automatic thermostat system and secondary hot water circulation, which, while slightly more costly, can dramatically improve energy efficiency, making it a worthwhile upgrade option for long-term investment.
To summarize, blanching machine price is not determined by a single factor, but by a combination of factors such as structural design, control system, materials and processing technology, etc. Lonkia, as a professional manufacturer in the field of food processing machinery, has always insisted on using high-quality materials and advanced manufacturing technology to provide customers with stable and reliable blanching equipment. If you are looking for a high-performance and cost-effective vegetable blanching machine, Lonkia will be a reliable partner.
