Cod. CC00000943, CC00009217, CC00000944, CC00009216
The CATO non-vacuum industrial meat mixer, available in 300L and 500L models, is robust and reliable. It is equipped with a paddle system with two rotation directions to facilitate a good homogeneous mix during kneading, without damaging the product for subsequent stuffing.
These mixers have an exclusive design that maximises the capacity of the tank, ensuring a fast and gentle mixing process with excellent results, without overworking the mixture.
The non-vacuum industrial meat mixers are designed and built to mix and knead all types of dough commonly used in the production of sausages and other meat products, and optionally to massage whole muscle meat pieces. They can also be used to mix other food products, provided that the raw materials have similar properties to meat in terms of consistency, plasticity, adhesion, and density.
