Tumbling Capabilities for Marinated Poultry

Our VarioMix (IVM) revolutionizes mixing and tumbling capabilities with its shaftless design and variable control over individual rotation directions and speeds, allowing processors to fine-tune operations for optimal quality and consistency. The IVM is particularly effective for marinating whole muscle chicken products, significantly reducing tumbling times with its shaftless interweaving spirals that carefully and efficiently massage the meat. This action ensures uniform marinade distribution and accelerates protein extraction, enhancing flavor, texture, and yield while avoiding the intense impacts of traditional tumblers. The IVM cuts batch times by more than 50%, boosting throughput and operational efficiency—key for maximizing profitability. The IVM's capacity to fill up to 90%—surpassing traditional tumblers at 50-60%—along with lower energy use, extends its efficiency. This technology not only simplifies the marinating process but also offers the adaptability for other mixing operations, presenting a comprehensive solution for contemporary food processors aiming to decrease time without sacrificing quality.

Emulsifying & Case Filling Solutions

Enhance your poultry processing capabilities with Handtmann Inotec’s emulsifying technology, tailored for every scale of production, from small artisan producers to large industrial operations. This technology is adept at emulsifying trim, offering added value and reducing shrinkage across a broad spectrum of products.  The Inotec emulsifiers come equipped with a modular 1- to 5-stage cutting system that ensures a consistent and homogeneous product quality. Key features include a user-friendly interface that operates independently of language barriers, making it accessible globally.
