Features
- Smart Balance design uses fans, ducts and dampers, all working together to deliver the uniformity and efficiency no other thermal system can match. The Smart Balance design also uses 45° wall-to-floor deflectors to help enhance airflow. Permanent air balance ensures that your oven remains balanced, resulting in repeatable and consistent processing conditions day after day.
- Permanent factory air balancing of both supply and return air, ensure repeatable and consistent results
- Direct drive rotating dampers with innovative damper brake assembly to ensure critical breakpoint creates repeatable and consistent processing conditions
- Every design element is aimed at producing repeatable and consistent results in terms of temperature, color and yield
- Complete process verification through Powis-6000 Control system that verifies each cooking step, validates all changes, and provides complete HACCP data reporting after the process
- Energy efficient and simple design reduces horsepower requirements
- Single-inlet backward-inclined fan uses less horsepower to achieve required airflow for uniform cooking
- Innovative direct drive damper design replaces unreliable chain drive systems
- Pitched roof allows drainage from center to sides
- Hinged supply ducts allow for safe and easy access
- Wall skins are welded to internal frame to minimize wall distortion for superior durability
- Patented monolithic floor design eliminates typical recessed floors, eliminating a major harborage area
- Easy access to the psychrometer pan assembly, either from inside the oven or from on top of the oven
- Recessed door handles, inflation switches and flow meter for protection
- Simple design, allows easy access to serviceable areas, even while processing
- Marlen’s Safety-First emphasis is designed and built into every product
- Marlen International also offers Marlen parts for our Food Processing Ovens, Cookers, and Industrial Smokehouses
- Made in the USA
Industrial Dehydrator
Custom designed around your product, process and facility.

Blast Chill Cell
Our chillers feature a continuous chill process, allowing maximum heat reduction at a uniform rate, resulting in faster chill times, higher yields, and greater product uniformity while achieving maximum energy savings. Custom chilling recipes allow the product to aspirate naturally, giving up a precise amount of moisture and no more. This recipe not only brings about rapid stabilization but does so with optimum uniformity -- no "hot spots", no errant crusting.
Features
- Variable speed fans allow you to chill product faster using brine chill cabinets with more uniformity and in a sanitary environment
- Marlen’s variable speed fans run at low speed during “wet coil” conditions. Then, as desired moisture removal is nearly complete, fan speed increases and the system shifts to a lower temperature “dry coil” condition. This design significantly reduces shrinkage and prevents errant crusting.
- The Marlen chill cell control system stores and controls chilling “recipes,” logs processes and product temperature data for HACCP verification. This makes the system efficient by producing repeatable and uniform results allowing for higher yields.
- Exacting control for consistent high-yielding quality throughout the load, batch after batch
- Every design element is aimed at producing product that is uniform in terms of temperature, color and yield
- Optimized evaporator coil allows for faster chilling at higher refrigerant temperatures allowing you to save money in refrigeration cost
- Marlen continuous chill process is designed and constructed to maximize uptime through easy operation and maintenance
- Insulated, all welded stainless steel construction with built in CIP system
- Insulated Drain Pan Under Coil
- Marlen’s Safety-First emphasis is designed and built into every product
- Service-friendly design with logical and easy access to essential areas
- Marlen International also offers Marlen parts for the Blast Chillers and continuous chill processes
