Breading line for poultry and seafood products
Elevate your production with high-speed breading lines designed for uniform coatings, ensuring every product—from schnitzel to seafood—consistently meets quality standards for texture and appearance.
Applies Coatings and Breadcrumbs Efficiently
The alco Breading Machine APT ECO and PRO series from Alco Food Machines specialize in coating food products with precision and consistency. Ideal for bakery, poultry, and plant-based protein sectors, these machines handle a variety of breading materials from fine grains to coarse mixtures like Panko and cornflakes. Utilizing a combination of vibration and pressing systems, the machines ensure an even coating, enhancing the visual and taste appeal of end products such as schnitzel and fish sticks.
Operating continuously at high speeds, these machines are integrated into existing production lines with ease, thanks to a user-friendly PLC interface that manages parameters like recipe management and belt speed, reaching up to 29 m/min. The APT series promotes efficient use of materials through an air knife system that removes and returns excess crumbs, minimizing waste.
Constructed from stainless steel, both ECO and PRO models offer durability in food processing environments and comply with food safety standards. Easy-to-clean designs and options for optional components like vibrating plates and fill level sensors allow for customization and scalability to meet production demands and maintain hygiene.
