Vacuum mixer for fresh and frozen ground meat

Achieve precise homogeneity with this vacuum mixer, designed to handle high-capacity food processing, from ground meats to complex multi-ingredient blends, ensuring quality consistency in every batch.

Mixes and Discharges Both Solid and Liquid Products

The SOFTmix Vacuum Industrial Mixer Series from Marel is specifically engineered to provide efficient mixing solutions for the food processing industry. These mixers boast a double shaft mixing system, ensuring quick, gentle, and homogeneous mixing of both solid and liquid products. Designed to meet the strictest hygiene requirements, the mixers are constructed from heavy-duty AISI 304 stainless steel, offering excellent durability and corrosion resistance.

With a range of models from the 1000 to the 4000, this series accommodates various production capacities, providing flexibility for meat processing, prepared foods, and fish applications. The series features a water ring vacuum system for enhanced mixing quality and two pneumatic operated front discharge gates for rapid, complete emptying of liquid products.

Operators benefit from an intuitive panel view PLC control system, offering both automatic preset mixing programs and manual control options. Integration into both stand-alone operations and full production lines is seamless, with additional equipment options such as CO2/N2 injection and steam systems available. Compliant with CE standards, the SOFTmix Vacuum Mixers also feature a fully welded design, free from horizontal surfaces and hidden corners, facilitating easy cleaning and maintenance.
