Tetra Laval Koppens BV forming, battering and double breading line - 400 mm

2346

Complete used industrial line for forming, battering, and double breading of meat, fish, and vegetable products, featuring a 400 mm working width. Manufactured by the renowned brand Tetra Laval Koppens BV, this modular line automates the entire process from raw material feeding to final breading with exceptional accuracy and consistency.

Continuous processing sequence:
1. Raw material bin (200 L) → 2. Bin lifter (250 kg) → 3. VM 400 HSE plate forming machine → 4. First Breading machine (pre-dust/base layer) → 5. Battering/Coating unit (liquid batter adhesion) → 6. Second Breading machine (crispy finish).

Tetra Laval Koppens BV Industrial Forming and Double Breading Line (400 mm)

High-productivity continuous line designed for processing and producing formed products with a double-coating finish (nuggets, burgers, fish portions, schnitzels, croquettes, and plant-based alternatives). Designed by Tetra Laval Food Koppens B.V., a global benchmark in meat and food processing, this line guarantees precise portioning, a uniform batter coat, and a double breading with excellent adhesion and a superior crunchy texture.

Advantages of the Double Breading Process

■ Optimum moisture retention: The first breading stage seals the surface of the molded product, allowing the battering machine to apply a uniform coat without losing internal moisture.
■ Premium crunchy or artisanal finish: Allows combining different grain sizes (fine flour or pre-dust in the first stage and coarse breadcrumbs or panko in the second).
■ Product savings and uniformity: Homogeneous distribution of the coating without clumping or uncoated areas.
