Novelty of Maschinenfabrik Seydelmann KG: The Trolley Tumbler for tumbling, mixing and marinating

Anyone who produces delicatessen salads or vegetable mixes or offers spare ribs, marinated steaks, chicken wings and pulled pork faces a major challenge: the individual components must be well processed.

What sounds simple is not easy to achieve. This is because the mixing, tumbling and marinating must be particularly gentle and even. The individual components must not be damaged during the process. Standard Tumblers are often used for this purpose, or products are mixed by hand. However, these methods often do not produce satisfactory results. In addition, both methods require an enormous amount of time, which might be justified if the result is perfect, but if you have a hand-mixed pasta salad in mind, it is obvious that the result is often unsatisfactory and does not meet today's hygienic requirements.

To meet this challenge, Maschinenfabrik Seydelmann KG has set itself the goal of offering a machine that mixes, tumbles and marinates products particularly gently, intensively and evenly. Further requirements were short processing times and thus increase of productivity, low personnel expenditure and flexible application possibilities. As with all Seydelmann machines, this innovation is also manufactured to the highest standards in hygienic design - robust, durable and easy to clean.

With these requirements as a guidepost, the new Trolley Tumbler could be designed for 200 or 300 liter standard trolleys. The standard trolley, which is filled with the products to be mixed, serves as a mixing container. Loading and emptying of the machine, as with tumblers, is no longer necessary. This allows quick product changes and minimizes product losses. The standard trolley is moved into the machine, lifted and closed with the domed mixing lid. Subsequently, a bi-directional horizontal or cross rotation - depending on the machine design - takes place. In this way the products are mixed gently and intensively in the standard carriage without a mixing unit or paddles (axles). The mixing lid contains a mixing cross, which ensures optimum processing. The mixing cross can be manufactured individually and adapted to the products. For example, a toothed mixing cross for breaking up frozen products or tearing up pulled pork. Thanks to a quick-change system, the mixing crosses can be replaced easily and without tools, making the machine a flexible everyday helper.

Simple operation and an easily understandable control system reduce personnel costs: only one person is needed to operate the machine.

Other processes that can be performed with the Trolley Tumbler include hydrogenation, refining, coating, massaging, breaking open frozen food and many more. An optionally available vacuum pump, with vacuum values of up to 80 %, also enables optimized marinating and mixing of meat products.

Maximum operating safety is ensured by the safety fencing with a scanned safety door and the laterally positioned and moisture-protected electronics.

Automatic operation of the Trolley Tumbler is made possible by the Command 700 program Control.
