An apparatus and method for providing treatment by impingement to a continuous supply of food product includes a treatment zone (44) at an ambient pressure, a fluid delivery zone (46) at an elevated pressure, and a circulation assembly. Impingement plates (48) containing apertures (50) separate the zones. When treatment fluid is drawn through the impingement apertures (50), jets of treatment fluid are produced and impinge upon food product traveling through the treatment zone (44). The apparatus can employ a conveyor mechanism to accommodate food product from a continuous supply, as opposed to batches. <IMAGE> |
