Automatic batter mixer for coating applications

Achieve consistent batter viscosity for precise coating in high-demand food processing lines, ensuring that each piece, from chicken nuggets to tempura vegetables, meets quality standards effortlessly.

Mixes and Controls Batter Viscosity

The Stein ProMix™ Batter Mixer from FoodTech Solutions is an automatic system designed to optimize the mixing and viscosity control of batters for poultry, meat, and seafood applications. This equipment is distinguished by its precise control of batter consistency, ensuring uniform coating on products like chicken nuggets, fish fillets, and tempura vegetables. It operates using a centrifugal style batter transfer pump and a pressure transducer for viscosity monitoring, allowing for continuous, efficient production. Capable of mixing approximately 3,000 lbs. per hour, it features a 55-gallon refrigeration-jacketed mixing tank, which helps maintain optimal temperature for batter quality. Integration into your production line is streamlined with PLC controls and automatic feeding systems for dry mix and water. Engineered for durability and reliability, it is constructed with special mixing tank baffles for enhanced cooling and quick mixing action. The ProMix ensures your operations meet high standards of efficiency and consistency, crucial for large-scale food processing operations.
