Efficient, accurate tempura applicator for high-capacity production
Take advantage of GEA’s advanced wet coating technology for the food industry. The GEA OptiDipper is a state-of-the-art tempura and batter applicator that extends the lifespan of tempura, reduces product waste, and saves on cleaning and labor costs. It offers maximum product quality control for applying tempura and batter to small and large food products alike.
The quality of coated products is often judged by visual appearance. A tempura-coated product is also evaluated by the crispiness of its coating. In the GEA OptiDipper, tempura is maintained at a constant temperature and evenly applied, thanks to an adjustable top conveyor that ensures products are fully submerged. For optimal business results, the GEA OptiDipper is easy and safe to operate, and simple to clean and maintain. Changeover times are extremely short, and the machine can remain inline during operations.
The GEA OptiDipper is available in 600mm and 1000mm wide models. Key applications include formed and coated cheese, poultry, seafood, beef, and pork.
Superior Product Quality
Reduced Product Waste
Maximum Uptime
Extremely short changeover times are made possible by a self-emptying drain beneath the machine. The blower opens easily for inspection and cleaning without the need for additional tools. Quick-release pipes between the pump and curtain (instead of hoses) provide better access and eliminate loose parts.
A conveyor belt, combined with an adjustable top conveyor, ensures products are completely submerged. The design eliminates internal transfers to maximize flexibility and minimize product damage. An optional quick-link coupling reduces the risk of belt damage. A frequency converter adjusts the conveyor belt speed. An adjustable bottom layer former optimizes bottom coverage for difficult and hollow products. A hygienic blower removes excess tempura or batter from the upper side, while excess on the bottom is removed by a scraper or an additional bottom blower pipe.
