Energy saving cooling tumbler for meat, poultry, and fish processing
Optimize your meat, poultry, and fish processing with innovative cooling technology that ensures precise temperature control, enhances flavor infusion, and improves product texture, all while maintaining exceptional energy efficiency for increased production cost savings.

Masses, Mixes, and Marinates Meat and Fish
The ESK 300–400 STL from VAKONA GmbH is an energy-saving cooling tumbler engineered for precision in the food processing industry, particularly for meat, poultry, and fish applications. With its stainless steel construction, the tumbler integrates a direct cooling system utilizing a powerful cooling aggregate and heat exchanger within a double jacket bowl. This enhances temperature control during massing, mixing, and marinating processes, vital for producing consistent end-products such as marinated chicken breasts and cured bacon strips.
Equipped with a touch screen control unit, the ESK 300–400 STL allows both automatic and manual operation with memory storage for up to 99 customizable recipes. Adjustments can be made to parameters including rotation speed, temperature, and vacuum levels, providing flexibility in batch production. The machine’s variable arm speed ranges from 3-18 rpm, giving you control over the process dynamics to suit various product types.
Energy efficiency is achieved through its optimized motor control, decreasing energy consumption and contributing to lower operational costs. The vacuum system includes high-performance pumps and aseptic filtration, ensuring cleanliness and product quality. Compliant with food industry standards, the equipment’s CIP-compatible design facilitates easy cleaning and maintenance, minimizing downtime. Customization options are available to tailor equipment features such as bowl volume and arm design to specific production needs.
