Intro
Batter application is important to make coated products appear perfect . The GEA WetCoater works with an underbath and a four-layer batter curtain. By changing the position of the batter curtain, the process can be fine-tuned to suit the application and provide ideal adhesion for breading. This, with ease of use and robust design, makes it a highly reliable machine that has proven itself in numerous lines all over the world.
Main applications
Main product applications include poultry products (boneless and bone-in), pork cutlets, meat replacement products and vegetables. The GEA WetCoater can also be used to marinate pork tenderloins and spare ribs.

Specifications
Advanced technologyEfficient batter usage
The GEA WetCoater works effectively with a minimum quantity of batter in the machine. This means only a small amount of batter is used to start the machine and while changing to a different batter. This also ensures even product coverage by keeping the temperature of the batter under control.
Even batter coverage
When the products leave the machine, excess batter is blown off and returned to the process . The air supply and air distribution to the top and bottom is adjustable. Even coverage is guaranteed by efficiently changing the position and angle of the blower.

The water equation
Across Europe, drought is a recurring reality – and no longer confined to the south. While water increasingly shapes where industries locate, its value is determined by local context. There are many technological routes to water efficiency in industrial processes, but location, energy needs and other factors are also key.
