Stork 400mm Batter and Breader

• Coating poultry, fish, or red meat portions with a wet batter.
• Applying a dry breadcrumb or flour coating to various food products.
• Preparing products for further processing such as frying or freezing.
• Used in food processing lines requiring consistent coating application.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on product size and line speed; for this class of equipment, it can range from several hundred to over a thousand kilograms per hour.

Power supply

Commonly 3-phase industrial power, typically 400V, 50Hz in the UK, with specific amperage requirements depending on motor size.

Belt width

As specified, 400mm, which is a common width for medium-volume production lines.

Construction material

Typically all stainless steel (grade 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability in food processing environments.

Footprint

For a 400mm unit, the main machine typically requires a floor space of approximately 1.5m to 2.5m in length and 1m to 1.5m in width, excluding additional conveyors.

Maintenance requirements

Regular cleaning is essential, along with periodic checks of belts, motors, and bearings. Components are generally designed for ease of access.

Suitable product feed

Designed for pre-portioned, consistent product sizes to ensure even coating and prevent blockages.

• What is a 'Wier Type' batter applicator?

  A wier type batter applicator typically uses a circulating batter system where the product passes through a curtain or pool of batter, ensuring full coverage. Excess batter is collected and recirculated.

• Can this machine apply both wet batter and dry breading?

• Is this unit suitable for gluten-free products?

• What kind of conveyors are typically included with such a system?

• What spare parts should a buyer consider stocking?

Meat coating equipment holds a solid reputation for improving product consistency and presentation in poultry and meat processing operations. Buyers typically prioritize even coating application, ease of cleaning, and durability of contact surfaces when selecting used units. Key strengths include reduced product waste, faster processing speeds, and minimal operator intervention required. Potential purchasers should examine coating drums or belts for wear, verify spray nozzle functionality, and confirm electrical and mechanical components operate smoothly. Well-maintained machines generally deliver reliable performance in demanding production environments.
