Semi-automatic batter mixer for prepared food production
Creating a consistent and lump-free batter is a crucial step in producing quality prepared foods like tempura. This can be challenging due to the labor-intensive process and the need for precise water-to-powder ratios.

Creates lump-free batter with recipe management
The Active Mixer from Marel is a specialized semi-automatic mixer designed to produce homogeneous batters for prepared foods. It effortlessly combines powder and water into a consistent mixture within 2 minutes, thanks to its adjustable design. The integrated recipe management system ensures uniformity by centrally saving recipes and guiding the operator through the process. Automatic water filling and real-time viscosity feedback further enhance process reliability. Labor requirements are minimized as the mixer automatically fills with water and prompts the operator to add powder. Additionally, the mixer can be expanded with an Active Feeder to automate powder addition, ensuring a precise water-to-powder ratio each time. This setup improves throughput, line efficiency, and end-product consistency.
