Pea processing

Peas are one of the vegetables where consumers are increasingly switching from fresh or canned to frozen. At the same time consumers are not prepared to compromise on taste and quality, which puts heavy demands on the processed pea manufacturers.

Cabinplant can provide complete lines for the processing of green IQF peas for capacities between 2 and 30 t/h. Our experience includes solutions for all steps of the processing of podded raw material:

• Reception of podded peas
• Removal of light foreign matters, such as pods, leaves, etc.
• Washing to remove sand, stones, stems, etc.
• Draining and cleaning of washing water and removal of incomplete peas
• Accumulation to control infeed to blancher
• Integrated blanching and cooling to maintain taste, colour and nutrients 
• Scanning to remove peas with spots as well as other foreign matters
• Freezing
• Grading in different sizes
• Weighing, filling and packing into e.g. bags
