Twin-shaft mixer for food preparation
Achieve optimal protein extraction and ingredient distribution with this twin-shaft mixer, designed for efficient preparation of diverse meat and plant-based products while minimizing batch residue and enhancing productivity.
Mixes and Processes Diverse Food Products
The GEA ProMix from GEA is a versatile twin-shaft mixer designed for the precise processing of a wide range of food products, including meat, seafood, and vegetarian options. What sets this mixer apart is its ability to ensure uniform distribution of ingredients and optimal protein extraction through high peripheral wing speed. It supports multiple operations such as mixing, emulsifying, cooling, and defrosting, making it ideal for products from chicken nuggets to plant-based burgers.
The ProMix handles batch and continuous operations with a robust design featuring independently driven mixing wings for diverse mixing actions. Its variable-speed control enhances flexibility, while optional features like vacuum and cryogen cooling optimize processing efficiency. Available in various sizes, it accommodates volumes up to 2,500 liters.
Automation is facilitated with PLC controls and an operator-friendly touch screen, ensuring seamless integration into existing production lines. The ProMix is also designed for easy cleaning and maintenance, featuring a design that minimizes product residue and facilitates quick shaft seal exchanges. With GEA’s engineering support, customization options like cooling systems and material choices are available, tailoring the ProMix to specific production needs.
