Process Design Is the Missing Link in Protein Scale-Up
Crystal Dinh on What It Takes to Scale Protein Processes Successfully As alternative proteins move from innovation to commercialization, the bottleneck is shifting from formulation to process. Plant-based and hybrid proteins are inherently variable. Hydration changes, viscosity shifts, and ingredient behavior can vary batch to batch. The result is familiar: inconsistent texture, yield loss, and…

Sanitary Finish: Your First Line of Defense Against Contamination
In food manufacturing, appearances deceive. A machine may look spotless, but shiny isn’t smooth—and only smooth is sanitary. Rough welds and surface crevices trap residue and microbes, putting food safety, compliance, and uptime at risk. That’s why sanitary finish isn’t a spec—it’s a strategy. What Makes a Surface Truly “Sanitary”? Food safety authorities like the…
Configure-to-Order: Custom Without the Wait
In food manufacturing, speed and flexibility matter. Starting every project from scratch adds risk and delay, but “off-the-shelf” systems rarely fit. That’s why Blentech uses a Configure-to-Order (CTO) process—a smarter way to get equipment tailored to your needs, without reinventing the wheel. How It Works We start with a library of proven, engineered modules—cookers, conveyors,…
