Brine mixing equipment for food processing

Achieve homogeneous brines and marinades effortlessly with our state-of-the-art mixing system, engineered to eliminate sedimentation while maximizing brine retention and marinade coverage for superior product quality.

The GEA MixMaster is a versatile brine and marinade mixing system designed to enhance the uniformity and quality of your marinated products. Featuring modular mixing and storage tanks ranging from 500 to 3000 liters, it easily scales to your production needs. It incorporates a two-speed stirring device and an advanced venturi mixing system to ensure complete dissolution and homogeneous blending, even with ingredients prone to sedimentation. Ideal for applications involving marinated meat and poultry, such as bacon, chicken wings, and spare ribs, the MixMaster facilitates seamless integration with processing lines by offering both PLC-controlled and push-button operations.

Capable of both batch and continuous processing, the system includes a recipe management feature for replicable results and a cooling option using glycol to maintain optimal temperatures during mixing. Durable construction and a self-draining design make cleaning straightforward, while ergonomic ingredient hoppers and flexible piping add to its operational efficiency. Compliant with the latest hygiene standards, the MixMaster is an indispensable tool for food producers seeking reliable, consistent marination processes.
