The VersaTherm is a pinnacle of innovation in the industrial cooking sector, skillfully handling an extensive range of culinary applications from the preparation of rich stews and intricate sauces to the creation of diverse international dishes. Similar to the Blentherm, what sets the VersaTherm apart in food processing environments is its unparalleled ability to adapt to various cooking methods within a single recipe. It starts with a sauté to cultivate depth of flavor and color, followed by the addition of liquids, showcasing its essential role in versatile cooking processes.

Designed with efficiency and space optimization in mind, the VersaTherm is particularly adept at processing highly viscous products that challenge traditional single agitation systems. These products, prone to poor mixing and barreling, are well handled in the VersaTherm due to its dual-agitator design. This innovative feature significantly increases the mixture’s contact with the cooker’s surface area, crucial for recipes requiring nuanced heat distribution, such as sautéing or those dependent on jacket heating rather than direct steam. By optimizing the surface area to volume ratio, the VersaTherm not only excels in these applications but also achieves notably faster cook times. This is especially advantageous for processes necessitating direct jacket heating, where even and efficient heat transfer is paramount.

Available in various sizes to suit any production scale, the VersaTherm is engineered for resilience, withstanding the thermal expansion and contraction of daily use through heating and cooling. Its construction quality is unmatched, featuring a metal jacket designed for durability and ease of repair. Advanced welding techniques ensure deep weld penetration, while meticulous hand polishing of continuous welds maintains a sanitary environment by preventing food particle entrapment.

The inclusion of a state-of-the-art software platform further distinguishes the VersaTherm. Tailored to the dynamic needs of contemporary food processors, this system facilitates a recipe-centric batch process. It guides operators through each step, allowing for variations in ingredient quality, thus ensuring exceptional batch consistency and repeatability. Additionally, the software’s advanced reporting and analytics capabilities provide vital insights into both ongoing and historical production trends, empowering manufacturers with the knowledge to refine processes and boost efficiency.

The BlenTherm is a culinary powerhouse, capable of handling a range of cooking operations, from soups, sauces, dips, and proteins to various ethnic dishes. Its ability to perform multiple cooking operations within the same recipe, including sautéing for flavor and color development followed by the addition of liquids, makes it a versatile choice for food processing plants. This level of versatility is essential in settings where each piece of equipment must justify its value through multifunctionality and productivity.

In food production plants where space and budget are crucial, the BlenTherm stands out for its versatility and efficient design. It is available in a wider range of sizes and is built to withstand the regular expansion and contraction from repeated heating and cooling. The cooker’s steam jacket is superior in construction, offering enhanced durability and reparability. Our unique welding methods ensure deep weld penetration, and the hand polishing of continuous welds guarantees a sanitary design. Furthermore, the innovative scraper design prevents build-up on the thermal transfer surface.

The BlenTherm is equipped with ARTIS, a proprietary software platform, tailored to the current needs of food processors. This system facilitates a recipe-based batch process, guiding operators step-by-step, yet allowing flexibility for variations in raw materials. This approach ensures a high degree of consistency and repeatability in every batch. Additionally, the software’s reporting and analysis tools provide valuable insights into current and historical trends within the production processes.

Our Pre-engineered Line of BlenTherms is ideal for those processors that can use a standard design configuration. Simply choose the size and the level of automation that you prefer and select a couple of the features that are most important for your process. The complete design is already standardized, reducing the upfront time to get your unit into production.

When Blentech added AutoChef 2.0 & ARTIS to our list of features in 2017, we knew it would be a game-changer, but we couldn’t have anticipated how it could help companies during a pandemic and severe inflation! Many companies had to lay off / send home factory employees when Covid-19 hit, which left their machines dormant. This was obviously a major problem, but didn’t have to be felt so harshly if they had AutoChef 2.0 & ARTIS as they can automate operator tasks, automatically scale recipes, maintain consistency, enable remote workers, and more! Still feeling the effects of inflation, supply chain shortages, and labor shortages? Click here to read more about Blentech’s AutoChef 2.0 & ARTIS capabilities or contact us for an automation demo!

Our own Chief Technical Officer, Keith Weerts was on an industry panel this afternoon that looks to explore how he has led Blentech into a new phase of growth and large-scale digital transformation using Induction Automation.

We began using Induction Automation in 2016, due to low start-up costs, later realizing how easy it was to use, especially compared to our previous automation software. In order for Blentech to stay ahead of the curve in regards to digital transformation, we need to not only think about our customer’s needs, but also to anticipate their problems. Major issues world-wide have increased costs due to supply chain shortages, labor shortages, and inflation. With the assistance of Induction, we’ve helped our customer’s to minimize those effects. A quote from Keith at ICC22, “What we sell nowadays is not so much machines, but capacity. Blentech can help increase capacity just by looking at your data! You don’t have to buy your machines from us, but you should use us to increase capacity.” Contact Us if you feel your company could increase capacity and lower costs!

Life prior to Salesforce was a chaotic place; we used MAS for work ticket creation and Microsoft Access database created a cut, sheer and requisition list. Those were essentially our work orders. Most of requisitioning was done by post it notes left on the purchasing managers desk! The hardest part was Accounting had to manage all sales orders for every type of revenue activity. Now, our project managers, service, and parts leads create and manage all sales orders through PPSI and Accounting only needs to focus on collections and payment of vendors.

Blentech started using Salesforce in 2015 for lead and opportunity management for Sales and case management for Service and Parts which is when we realized (lightbulb moment) that keeping everything in the same place, from start to finish, on a common platform was the obvious strategy. We were still facing serious issues with revision and document control so in 2018 we decided to invest in Propel (a tool on the Salesforce Platform) for BOM and Project Management. Then we added Rootstock (another tool on the Salesforce Platform) in 2021 for everything else, from work orders to procurement to financials! Ever since that lightbulb moment, they have been supporting us in connecting our supply chains with real-time data on one unified platform!

Blentech will always be working toward continuous improvement and data informed decision making, not data driven. We will never complete our digital transformation because we will never be done improving. As long as there are new people, techniques, and technologies, Blentech will always have continuous improvement initiatives.

Blentech launched today their frontline cooking equipment in pre-engineered versions drastically reducing both price and delivery time. Pre-engineered solutions are derived from their most popular engineered parents having decades of proven usage in the food industry. This move directly benefits food processors by making a huge impact to allow for every budget and timeline. Prices are targeted to drop up to 50% while lead times are estimated to be as short as 12-16 weeks for all pre-engineered products!

For over 30 years, Blentech’s cooking equipment has been based on a horizontal design that brings several benefits to food producers but used to require a higher capital expenditure in comparison to traditional kettles. Pre-engineered designs have now allowed Blentech to reach the price parity of kettles. As production demands rise, the hemispherical kettles (similar in profile to a vertical pot in your kitchen) can now be economically upgraded to more effective pre-engineered solutions. In today’s modern food factories, horizontal cookers have become a necessity to meet the requirements for larger heating area, to develop flavors through complex processes like maillard browning and caramelization. This means a boon for the food processors as they can now readily improve their product quality, develop more flavorful foods as well as shorten their cooking time. 

Despite market uncertainty and the high costs of food production, food processors can now rely on quick to market proven equipment to drive their  production output, cost effectiveness or to simply maintain business continuity. 

Daniel Voit, CEO of Blentech mentioned “Cost effectiveness of pre-engineered solutions does not imply less features but evolution of our manufacturing technique and strategic elimination of engineering overheads. In fact, our pre-engineered models are designed to include features that exceed most equipment currently sold in the market.”

In general the manufacturing Industry suffers with longer lead times, Blentech’s pre-engineered solutions are designed to reduce time to get to production quicker which in turns reduces time to get their food to market.

Akhilesh Pandey, International Sales Director, noted that “Not all cost effective solutions are designed to enhance food production. It is possible to create solutions that are both cost effective and targeted to improve quality, safety and throughput of your production!” 

About Blentech

Blentech designs, builds and deploys  advanced cooking and mixing technologies globally. Their success is deeply rooted in their ability to innovate, offering sharp entrepreneurial business acumen, quality workmanship, and project execution. Whether you’re looking for fully engineered system solutions or pre-engineered cookers, know that Blentech is not just a manufacturer of cooking and mixing equipment. It’s a technology trailblazer.

One of the highlights of walking the halls of the Blentech office is hearing the boisterous laugh of DuWayne Geigle, Blentech’s Shop Foreman.  DuWayne, or as he is affectionately called by the Blentech team, Geigle, has been with Blentech as one of the original team members when Blentech was founded in 1986.  This week we are celebrating his time with Blentech and his recent retirement on July 15th, 2022 after an amazing 36 years of service.

Duwayne started as a welder in 1978 at Custom Stainless and eventually moved into the Welder Foreman and later, Shop Foreman roles. Then in 1981, Custom Stainless became CSE. In 1986, Darrell Horn (current Chairman and Owner) started Blentech and DuWayne was one of the employees who stayed on.  Back in 1986 when there were approximately 15 Blentech employees, with most being in the factory.  Now we have grown to over six times that with DuWayne overseeing the factory production for the past three and a half decades.

It is no shock that DuWayne is such a longstanding and hardworking employee.  A wonderful storyteller, he shared recently about his experiences growing up.  “Mom taught us the value of hard work.  As a kid, every Saturday before we’d go out and play we’d line up at 8 am and pick chores out of a hat.  If we had to clean the floors we’d get on our hands and knees with a rag, no mop!”  And that dedication certainly showed in his work – he is thorough, detailed, and also ensures the job is done right.  He also encourages and inspires others to work hard and do their best too.

Over the last few weeks as we’ve shared stories of how DuWayne has motivated, inspired and encouraged us. Those who have worked with him for many years shared some great quotes and anecdotes with us.  Doug Duncan, Service Technician, shared with us the story about when he was first hired by DuWayne to work in the Blentech factory over 15 years ago. DuWayne ensured Doug that he could start with Blentech right after being hired so he wouldn’t be long between jobs.  “Duwayne is a great guy. He has always led with compassion and concern for his workers. His care for people’s personal lives has always been present.  He has always gone the extra mile to accommodate the issues we all have in our lives. Duwayne cares about the individuals that have worked for him. He will always be appreciated for what he has done for me.”

Whether it was him formally chatting in his office on a project, being called over to someone’s desk for a quick question, or just over a lunch, game of cards or break time interaction, DuWayne was always willing to answer questions about any and every project.  It was no shock to anyone when he stopped on his way out the door on his last day to answer questions about a project from 34 years ago!

The impact that DuWayne Geigle has had on Blentech in both his work in production, as well as his positive impact on the entire Blentech team as a warm, caring leader who listened, joked, laughed and mentored brings so much joy to all who worked with him.  Thank you DuWayne for your dedication to Blentech and congratulations on your retirement!
