Viscous coating applicator for poultry, meat & seafood
Effortlessly apply even viscous coatings like tempura or marinades with precision, ensuring consistent flavor and texture across BBQ products, seafood, and plant-based alternatives.

Efficiently Coats and Processes Viscous Products
The alco Dipper – ADT from JBT stands out in industrial coating applications, offering a streamlined approach to applying viscous coatings across a range of products, including BBQ chicken wings and tempura shrimp. This dipper machine utilizes a belt system that efficiently guides products through a coating bath, eliminating the need for pumping viscous materials. Available in 400 to 1,000mm belt widths, it’s designed for high-speed, continuous operations within food processing lines.
Its PLC control allows seamless integration with existing systems, offering user-friendly recipe management through a touch panel. An integrated adjustable blower system and air knife ensure precise excess material removal, enhancing product consistency. Constructed from stainless steel and food-approved plastics, this machine is easy to clean without dismantling, featuring outlet openings for straightforward maintenance. An optional double-wall design offers coolant injection capabilities, maintaining optimal coating material temperatures for diverse applications. Tailor your production line with additional accessories, such as a batter mixer, to enhance your coating efficiency.
