Automatic batter mixer for coating applications
In the food processing industry, maintaining consistent batter mix ratios is critical for achieving high-quality coating on poultry, meats, and seafood. The challenge is ensuring uniform viscosity and continuous recirculation to multiple batter applicators without manual intervention.
Ensures consistent batter mixing and viscosity control
The Stein ProMix™ by JBT is an automatic batter mixer designed for conventional and lightly leavened tempura style batters. It automatically manages both dry and water feed, ensuring precise mix ratios and consistent coating quality. The system features a 60,000 BTU refrigeration jacketed 55-gallon mixing tank that keeps the batter at optimal temperature. The centrifugal-style batter transfer pump and special mixing tank baffles facilitate quick and efficient mixing action. The viscosity control is managed by a pressure transducer, and the entire system is controlled via a PLC. With a nominal mix capacity of approximately 3,000 lbs./hour, the ProMix™ is suitable for various coating applications in the poultry, meat, and seafood industries.
