BUILD THE EQUIPMENT YOU NEED—WITHOUT PAYING FOR WHAT YOU DON’T

Blentech’s modular systems give you exactly what you need—no extras, no waste. Whether you’re scaling up or automating, our flexible platform adapts to your space, budget, and production goals—delivering performance today and room to grow tomorrow.

Blentech Kettles are engineered for versatility—

so your operation can evolve without reinvesting.

The Configure to Order (CTO) process is a flexible, cost-effective way to build food processing equipment tailored to your needs, timeline, and budget, while still allowing you to select the features that suit your process

 

Smart equipment, built to fit.

Our CTO approach combines the flexibility of custom-built solutions with the speed and savings of pre-engineered systems. You start with one of our proven base models—then select from a range of features, options, and automation levels to configure a system that fits your process.

Whether you need a batch cooker with ribbon agitation, a horizontal steam-jacketed kettle for particulates, or a vacuum-cooled combo system, your equipment is engineered for sanitary performance, long-term value, and seamless integration.

Reduce Capital Costs

Save up to 30–40% compared to fully custom or bundled systems.

Accelerate Lead Times

Pre-engineered models and modular layouts minimize design time.

Tailor Your System

Choose the features that meet your process and budget

Future-Proof Design

Easily upgrade or expand as production scales.

Blentech’s CTO process is a collaborative design journey

Perfect for processors seeking both flexibility and reliability. We help brands of all sizes—from artisanal producers to global CPG leaders—build modular equipment solutions that support current production while enabling future growth.

Through process assessments, Blentech evaluates your capacity, throughput, space constraints, and performance goals. Whether you need a simple base unit or a fully integrated line with SCADA/MES controls, batch recipe automation, and CIP integration, CTO gives you control—without complexity.
