The JBT Chopper/Blendercan quickly reduce frozen product to a flowable or pumpable condition. No longer must drums of frozen juice thaw for hours with resulting loss of quality. Instead, frozen concentrate, single strength juice or pulp can be processed soon after it is removed from the cold room. A fifty-five gallon drum of frozen concentrate can be processed in about 2.5 minutes. Fifty-five gallons of frozen single strength juice can be crushed in approximately 4 minutes and a 5 gallon pail of frozen pulp can be processed in approximately 2 minutes. Containers of various sizes and shapes, up to and including fifty-five gallon drums, can be handled by the Chopper/Blender. A hot water jacket around the lower portion and bottom of the Chopper/Blender tank complements the specially designed spiral blade. This combination rapidly chips and warms the product so that a flowable state is reached in a short time.
