Abstract

See full text

A food processing apparatus includes a tank having an inlet end and a discharge end and at least one baffle divides the tank into a first compartment and a second compartment, wherein a temperature of the first compartment is greater than a temperature of the second compartment. A first drum is rotatably mounted within the first compartment of the tank such that a heat transfer medium contained in the first compartment of the tank will enter the first drum and a second drum is rotatably mounted within the second compartment of the tank such that a cool transfer medium contained in the second compartment of the tank will enter the second drum. A food product transfer device transfers food product from the first drum to the second drum. The food product transfer device defines a passageway having a first portion at least partially disposed in the first drum and a second portion at least partially disposed in the second drum, wherein the second portion is positioned to prevent the heat transfer medium from flowing from the first drum to the second drum through the food product transfer device.
