Cryogenic coating tumbler for ready meal components
Commercial food production often requires efficient methods to coat various substrates uniformly with sauces or seasonings, especially in the manufacturing of convenience foods and ready meals. Achieving consistent coating without product breakage or segregation is a common challenge in this process.
Efficiently coat and freeze substrates
The Coating Tumbler from Dohmeyer features a cryogenic process to envelop substrates such as seafood, vegetables, meat, potatoes, and pasta with sauces or seasonings. This batch process produces Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) products, adding significant value.
