Semi-automatic batter mixer for prepared food production
Achieve consistent, high-quality batter for a variety of convenience products with a semi-automatic mixer that ensures precise ingredient ratios and reduces manual labor through efficient recipe management and automated filling.
Mixes and Manages Batter for Consistent Production
The Active Mixer from Marel is a semi-automatic solution designed to streamline batter and tempura preparation in high-volume food processing. It stands out for its ability to create homogeneous mixtures swiftly, using an adjustable mixing system that ensures lump-free results within 2 minutes. Ideal for products like fish sticks, chicken nuggets, and plant-based chicken strips, this mixer is an essential component in the production of convenience foods.
Equipped with a detailed recipe management system, the Active Mixer simplifies process repetition by storing recipes centrally and providing real-time feedback on batter viscosity. Its semi-automatic design minimizes labor through automatic filling and level sensing features, transferring prepared mixes directly to batter applicators.
With a high-capacity operation, the Active Mixer integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, significantly enhancing throughput and line efficiency. Additionally, the optional Active Feeder can be added to automate powder addition, ensuring precise water-to-powder ratios and consistent mix quality. This equipment is ideal for food processors in need of reliable, efficient, and repeatable mixing solutions.
