MAREL Platino 400 flatenner

• Producing uniform thickness portions of boneless pork and beef.
• Preparing poultry products for consistent cooking and presentation.
• Enhancing water retention and reducing shrinkage in flattened meat products.
• Creating products with improved texture and bite for further processing or retail.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from several hundred to over a thousand kilograms per hour, depending on product size and desired thickness.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz.

Footprint

A Marel Platino 400 flatenner typically has a compact footprint, but buyers should allow for operational space around the machine for loading, unloading, and maintenance.

Belt width

The '400' in the model name commonly indicates a working belt width of approximately 400mm.

Material construction

Equipment for food processing, such as this flatenner, is typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Suitable product temperature

This equipment is typically designed for processing non-frozen products.

• What is the primary benefit of the Platino's kneading technology?

  The unique twisted kneading drums help to improve the product's water holding capacity, reduce bounce-back, and maintain muscle integrity, resulting in a meaty texture after flattening.

• Can this machine process frozen meat?

• How easy is the Platino 400 to clean?

• Does flattening affect the product's shape retention after cooking?

• What kind of products can be processed?

Meat and poultry tumblers and massagers are valued for their consistent ability to enhance product texture and marinade absorption across commercial production. Buyers typically report reliable performance when used regularly, though condition of internal drums and seals warrants careful inspection on used units. Key strengths include labour savings and uniform results compared to manual methods. When purchasing secondhand, check motor function, drum integrity, and whether all safety guards remain intact. Stainless steel models tend to hold up better in demanding environments.
