Cod. CC00000953, CC00000958, CC00000954, CC00009122, CC00000955, CC00000960
The CATO industrial vacuum meat mixer is ideal for providing homogeneous and delicate mixing of meat products without damaging them.
It is equipped with a blade system that operates in two directions to facilitate good, even mixing during the kneading process, without stressing the product for subsequent stuffing. It also incorporates a vacuum system to remove air from the mixture.
These mixers have an exclusive design that maximizes the use of the mixing chamber capacity, achieving fast and gentle mixing with excellent results and no smearing.
The industrial vacuum meat mixers are designed and built to mix and knead all types of doughs commonly used in sausage and other meat product processing, and optionally massage whole muscle meat pieces. They can also be used to mix other food products, provided the raw materials used have similar properties to meat in terms of consistency, plasticity, adhesion, and density.

Specifications
- Industrial vacuum mixer fully constructed in AISI 304 stainless steel and compliant with CE standards.
- Equipped with a robust T-shaped blade system, with dual rotation directions, to ensure effective mixing without damaging the product. The system uses a single shaft for maximum use of the mixing chamber capacity and greater production per hour.
- Multidirectional kneading for faster mixing and minimal temperature increase.
- Panoramic lid allows the entire process to be observed without opening it.
- Transmission system with tempered and ground shafts on oversized bearings to handle the load.
- Control panel with push buttons, selectors, PLC, and touchscreen for programming the work times for each cycle (which includes mixing, pause, and kneading stages). It has recipe memory.
- PLC control and remote access via integrated VPN router for fault diagnosis.
- The fixed blades and dual rotation direction extraction system allow the mixer to also be used for massaging, salting drum, and/or maceration.
- Emergency stop button.
- Safety:
- The paddles cannot be activated while the lid is raised.
- “Both hands” safety device during product discharge when the lid is raised, requiring the operator to use both hands to operate the blades.
- Main power switch.
- Emergency stop button.
- Exclusive safety system to prevent possible contamination during the kneading process, made from stainless steel alloys, sealing gaskets, and non-corrosive, toxic, or absorbent materials.
- Models AV 500 E (CC00000958), AV 850 E (CC00009122), and AV 1350 E (CC00000960) are equipped with a hydraulically powered elevator-loader.
