Twin-shaft mixer for meat mix preparation
Achieve consistent texture and flavor in your meat and plant-based products with precise control over mixing, blending, and protein extraction, all within a robust, flexible twin-shaft system designed for optimal processing efficiency.
Mixes, Blends, and Extracts Proteins
The GEA UniMix is a twin-shaft mixer designed by GEA for industrial food processing, offering unparalleled mixing and blending capabilities for diverse applications. Its unique design ensures efficient processing of meat and vegetarian products, from bulk sausage mixes to soy-based patties. Operating through independently driven shafts, it provides precise control over mixing actions such as blending, stirring, and protein extraction. This mixer integrates seamlessly into high-speed, continuous production lines and features advanced cooling options with liquid CO2 or N2, optimizing product viscosity. The UniMix is also equipped with a vacuum function that improves curing and protein extraction. Engineered for hygiene, the mixer includes easy-to-remove, leak-proof shaft seals facilitating routine cleaning. With optional ColdSteam technology, it offers rapid defrosting, marrying mixing and defrosting in a single unit. The mixer is available in volumes of 3500 and 5000 liters and is constructed to comply with industry standards, providing robust reliability and easy maintenance.
