Summary: Liquefy and purée food.

Blenders in food processing machinery are used to reduce food ingredients to a smooth, uniform consistency by rapidly rotating blades. This process is called blending or puréeing.

   Here's a more detailed explanation:

* **Function:** Blenders achieve various outcomes, including:

    * Liquefying fruits and vegetables into juices or smoothies.

    * Creating sauces and soups with a smooth texture.

    * Mixing ingredients into a homogeneous blend.

* **Mechanism:** They consist of a container (jar or bowl) with rotating blades at the bottom, powered by a motor. The high-speed rotation creates a vortex that draws ingredients into the blades for efficient blending.

* **Applications:** Blenders are used in the production of:

    * Juices and beverages

    * Sauces and dressings

    * Purees and pastes

    * Processed foods

   In essence, blenders are essential for creating the smooth textures and uniform mixtures required in many food products.
