Massaging and tumbling system for meat and seafood

Enhance your meat and seafood processing with a versatile system offering flexible tilting for optimal massaging and marinating. Ideal for achieving uniform brine distribution and superior product consistency, this solution speeds up processing times while ensuring food safety with a hygienic, enclosed design.

Massages and Tumbles Meat and Seafood Products

The GEA ScanMini 1.5 from GEA is an innovative massaging and tumbling system, crafted to enhance marination efficiency for food processors across meat, poultry, and seafood sectors. Its defining feature is a robust drum capable of a 230° tilt, ensuring remarkable flexibility in-line and standalone setups. The semi-automatic design facilitates a processing capacity of up to 1500 liters, performing under vacuum to heighten protein extraction and maintain product quality. This system’s versatility allows it to handle a diverse range of end products—such as marinated pork tenderloin and shrimp scampi—while ensuring consistent brine distribution and product integrity. Additionally, its hygienic design with open access for complete inspection guarantees minimal contamination risk and easy maintenance. Enhance your processing line efficiency with options for seamless integration, including vacuum loading of ingredients and optional heat-chill carriers to reduce tumbling time effectively.
