Re-create authentic homestyle breading
Re-creating delicious homestyle breading on an industrial scale used to be a compromise. You had to choose between an authentic look but with low production efficiency, or a non-authentic appearance with better efficiency. No more! GEA has perfected its homestyle breader to overcome all of the automated homestyle breading drawbacks and help you produce authentic natural products with a crunchy golden coating. Just like mom used to make it!

Specifications
Advanced technologyNo Converging at the infeed
With the GEA MultiDrum your benefits start at the beginning: the infeed. There’s no need for converging machines: they just add cost and footprint. As the products rise on the chain belt, they are naturally divided into separate channels: one for each drum. The correct level of flour is maintained so your products are breaded perfectly every time.
Three rotating drum
This technology is unique to GEA MultiDrum coating machines. The homestyle appearance is created by tumbling your products in a drum. There are no augers, so there’s little chance of blockage. After tumbling, excess flour falls through the slits and is constantly cycled back to the machine. At the outfeed of the homestyle breader, products are spread evenly across the belt, so you don’t need spreading machines or manual workers.
