Category: Food Processing Machinery

Summary: Immersing food for cleaning or processing.

Soak tanks in food processing machinery are used to immerse food items in a liquid, typically water or a cleaning solution, for a specific period. This process serves several functions, depending on the food being processed. Soak tanks can be used to loosen dirt and debris from produce, rehydrate dried foods, soften tough skins or outer layers, or extract certain compounds from the food. The soaking process is an important preparation step that can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of subsequent processing stages.
