Efficient mixing effect

GEA UniMix

This twin-shaft mixer is ideal for pre-mixing of emulsions and mixing for hamburger patties, meat balls, luncheon meat and ground sausages. The effective mixing action and high peripheral wing speed result in uniform distribution of spices, additives, liquids and effective protein extraction.

From gentle stirring to intensive protein extraction

The GEA UniMix features an expertly designed tub and paddle, and carefully balanced ratio between paddle area and paddle pitch, resulting in an efficient mixing effect. Highly flexible, the machine can be set for a range of actions, from gentle stirring, to mixing/blending, and intensive protein extraction. Each mixing shaft is independently driven by its own dedicated motor, enabling complete control of mixing to match requirements. Minimal clearance between the mixing wings and tub helps to ensure that powders and other additives are thoroughly mixed in. Two large outlet gates allow fast discharge of the mix, which helps to reduce product residue and cross-mixing of batches.

Main applications

GEA UniMix | Twin-shaft mixer mix preparation for red meat, poultry, fish and vegetable products

Multiple mixing applications are available within recipes for red meat and poultry products. This includes mixing for extended products such as hamburger patties, meat balls, luncheon meat and ground sausages and pre-mixing for wiener and frankfurter emulsions, as well as vegetarian products.

Specifications

Advanced technology
Efficient cooling with optimal process control

With optional liquid CO2 or liquid N2 cooling, the mixer is suitable for extended formed products. Cooling provides the correct viscosity and product crystallization for forming, which helps to maintain the product shape during further processing. By measuring the motor torque load, the UniMix mixer detects the viscosity of the mix and, in combination with the temperature measurement, controls the exact cooling time for optimal forming consistency. So with the cooling system in operation, the mixer effectively also becomes a viscosity meter.

Air evacuation prior to forming, stuffing or emulsifying

The optional vacuum function further increases the functionality of the mixer. Vacuum improves curing and protein extraction and gives more control over premix density. This can help ensure a higher quality end product.

Add-ons

Options for the GEA UniMix
The GEA UniMix - with ColdSteam technology
GEA ColdSteam defrosting technology for GEA tumblers & mixers

A GEA UniMix equipped with ColdSteam defrosting technology provides fast defrosting, in minutes instead of hours, while maintaining product integrity. By introducing steam under vacuum conditions, the energy required for defrosting is transferred into the mix at low temperatures (approx 33 °C). This "cold steam" method means it is possible to achieve superfast defrosting without scalding or denaturing the proteins. The GEA ColdSteam technology effectively makes it possible to integrate two functionalities, defrosting and mixing, into a single machine.
