Automated filling machine for breading crumbs
GEA BreadingFeeder
The GEA BreadingFeeder is a dedicated machine designed for feeding a wide range of bread crumbs into the GEA CrumbMaster. The BreadingFeeder reduces the labor requirement, while the large crumb buffer helps to reduce downtime and supports faster product changeover.
Labor reduction and increased line availability
The GEA BreadingFeeder provides automatic crumb filling for the GEA CrumbMaster. It communicates with the CrumbMaster in real-time for automatic crumb refills. The machine handles fine and coarse crumbs equally efficiently and has a 240-liter hopper. The breading crumb is transported through a vertical auger directly into the GEA CrumbMaster. Downtime is minimized by continually refilling the supply hopper in the breading machine.
