Tempura batter applicator for poultry, meat & seafood
In food processing, achieving a uniform and consistent coating of thick, leavened tempura batter on products can be challenging, especially for items with uneven surfaces.
Uniform coating through total immersion
The Stein T-1 Tempura Batter Applicator from JBT is a specialized total immersion batter applicator designed to apply highly leavened and thick tempura batters. It utilizes a top submerger conveyor system that moves the product through the batter puddle gently and ensures complete and uniform coating, even for irregularly shaped products. A patented star roller discharge transfers the coated product into the fryer while minimizing surface damage. The applicator integrates a precise batter level maintenance system when used with the Stein TM Series batter mixer, providing consistent dwell time and batter pick up. Adjustable features, such as variable speed drive and batter blow-off, cater to products of varying heights and desired coating levels. Built with stainless steel construction and push-button controls, it is suitable for various food substrates prior to frying. The machine is available in belt widths of 16, 24, 34, and 40 inches, with options for electric or hydraulic drives and specialized discharge modifications for different product types.
