Seydelmann Trolley Tumbler: Gentle Mixing, Tumbling and Marinating Directly in the Trolley

The Trolley Tumbler from Maschinenfabrik Seydelmann KG mixes, tumbles and marinates food products directly in 200- or 300-litre standard trolleys. Suitable applications include deli salads, vegetable mixes and marinated meat products. Rotation of the trolley ensures gentle, uniform processing without a mixing mechanism or paddle shafts. This reduces product transfers, simplifies product changeovers and minimises product losses.

Which Products Can the Trolley Tumbler Process?

The Seydelmann Trolley Tumbler supports a wide range of food processing applications. Typical examples include:

  • Deli salads and pasta salads: gently and evenly mixing delicate ingredients.
  • Vegetable mixes: combining ingredients and distributing marinades or seasonings.
  • Spare ribs, steaks and chicken wings: tumbling, massaging and marinating meat products.
  • Pulled pork: shredding meat using a suitably designed mixing cross and blending it with other ingredients.
  • Frozen products: breaking up frozen components using a purpose-designed, serrated mixing cross.

Additional processes include hydrating, refining and coating. The mixing cross can be adapted to the product and the intended processing task.

How does Mixing directly in the Trolley work?

The standard trolley containing the ingredients is moved into the machine, raised and sealed with a domed mixing lid. Depending on the machine configuration, bidirectional horizontal or cross rotation then takes place. The trolley itself serves as the mixing vessel.

Rotation moves and blends the products without an additional mixing mechanism or paddle shafts. A mixing cross mounted inside the lid supports the process. This enables thorough, uniform processing while treating delicate product structures gently.

As the food remains in the trolley, there is no need to transfer it into a separate mixing vessel and unload it again afterwards. This simplifies handling and supports fast product changeovers.

How Does Mixing Directly in the Trolley Work?

The mixing cross can be individually manufactured to suit the characteristics of the products being processed. For example, a serrated mixing cross can be used to break up frozen components or shred pulled pork.

A quick-change system allows mixing crosses to be replaced easily without tools. This makes the Trolley Tumbler adaptable to different products and processing tasks.

Optional Vacuum for Marinating and Mixing

For meat processing applications, the Seydelmann Trolley Tumbler is available with an optional vacuum pump providing vacuum levels of up to 80 percent. The vacuum function supports marinating and mixing and extends the machine’s range of applications.

Reduced Handling and Easy Operation

The Trolley Tumbler is designed for short processing times, low staffing requirements and flexible production workflows. Straightforward operation and an easy-to-understand control system allow the machine to be operated by one person.

Key benefits in everyday production include:

  • Direct processing in the standard trolley: fewer transfer steps and minimised product losses.
  • Fast product changeovers: the trolley serves as both a transport container and a mixing vessel.
  • Flexible applications: interchangeable mixing crosses accommodate different products and processes.
  • Automatic operation: the Auto-Command 500 control system enables programmed processing sequences.

Hygienic Design and Operator Safety

The Seydelmann Trolley Tumbler is built according to hygienic design principles. Its robust, durable and easy-to-clean construction supports use in food production.

A safety enclosure with an interlocked access door safeguards the working area. The electrical components are positioned at the side of the machine and protected against moisture.

Summary

The Seydelmann Trolley Tumbler combines gentle product processing with straightforward handling – from mixing delicate deli salads and marinating meat to specialised applications using individually adapted mixing crosses.
