Prepared Meals, Entrées & Side Dishes
Systems Built for Meal Complexity
Prepared meals are never one-dimensional — they combine proteins, sauces, grains, and vegetables in formats that must hold quality from kettle to package. Blentech systems are designed for this complexity. Our configurable cookers, blenders, and cooling technologies process multiple components on a single line, scaling up to 10,000 lb/hr with precision. With AutoChef automation and ARTIS data integration, every recipe is repeatable, traceable, and ready for regulatory audit.

Stuffed entrées, dumplings, and burritos need fillings that hold texture and flavor. Blentech’s agitator systems cook and mix evenly while protecting particulates, producing fillings that portion and pack cleanly.
Meal kits require proteins, grains, and sauces to be prepared in parallel, then cooled and staged for downstream assembly. Our modular lines deliver just that, reducing labor while maintaining product integrity across all components. Integrated water and fat draining solutions allow grains, rice, and pasta to be produced efficiently in batch systems, reducing capital cost compared to oversized dedicated batch cookers.
Pulled meats, cooked rice, or prepared vegetables often feed into larger assemblies. Blentech platforms handle these components with consistency across shifts, ensuring smooth integration into downstream processes without bottlenecks.
Broths and chunky inclusions are processed together without compromise. Our original BlenTherm™ processor provides gentle agitation with efficient heat transfer, keeping beans, vegetables, and proteins intact while delivering rich, uniform bases. Patented scraper systems minimize burn-on and reduce cleaning time and cost between runs.
From rice sides to pasta entrees, Blentech continuous screw systems prevent clumping and overcooking while cutting water and energy use. Processors have achieved free-flowing pasta and rice that discharge cleanly, ready for packaging or assembly.

For healthcare and specialty diets, texture and compliance are critical. High-shear and vacuum systems create smooth, stable purees and modified meals that meet both nutritional and sensory requirements.
