ABSTRACT:
A cylindrical drum is rotatably mounted within a water tank. A water manifold is mounted to the exterior of the water tank and discharges chilled water through multiple axially spaced nozzles into the rotating drum within the tank to agitate the food product contained therein. The drum has a perforate skin which allows water to pass through but retains food product within. A helical auger is fixed to the drum and rotates with the drum to advance food product from the tank inlet to the tank outlet. The manifold discharges water on one side of the tank only, to impact food product as it is being lifted upwardly as the drum rotates. The drum may be provided with lifting baffles which further agitate the food product and cooperate with the agitating water injection to improve heat transfer from the food product.
