Technology highlights
The GEA ProCoater combines innovative design and new technologies to deliver superior stability, control, and consistency in wet coating. Each element is engineered to reduce variability, optimize batter behavior, and ensure reliable performance—even with complex coatings and demanding production conditions.
Guided return flow system (Patent pending)
The unique flow design reduces air entrainment and foam formation by up to 80%, creating a calm, stable batter flow. This ensures consistent coating quality while minimizing defects and maintaining uniform curtain performance.
Batter retention plate (Patent pending)
Keeps products firmly positioned during coating, preventing floating or drifting. This ensures controlled coating pickup and improves consistency across all products on the line.
Curtain creator & overflow system
The fully redesigned curtain creator and overflow system delivers a strong, uniform batter curtain for stable coating pickup. It ensures consistent batter performance throughout production, even during long runs and across a wide range of viscosities.

Consistent batter pickup and highest product quality
Batter application is important for perfect coated products. The GEA OptiCoater, batter applicator, uses a four-layer batter curtain. This gives full coverage of the top of the products with a small dip construction for the bottom. You can fine-tune the process to suit your application by changing the position of the batter curtain and belt speed. This will give you ideal adhesion for breading. Easy operation. Robust design. Highly reliable. Proven worldwide.
Main applications
The main product applications for GEA OptiCoater are: poultry products (boneless and bone-in), pork cutlets, meat replacement products and vegetables. This efficient and accurate batter applicator can also marinate pork tenderloins and spare ribs. Everything at high capacity.

- Fast, in-line positioning with quick-link coupling
Specifications
Advanced technologyDesigned for maximum uptime
A self-emptying drain underneath the batter applicator gives extremely short changeover times. Engineers can open the blower easily for inspection and cleaning without additional tools. There are no hoses between the pump and curtain, just quick-release pipes. These have no loose parts and give maximum access and clear inspection. The gas, spring-loaded belt construction gives full and easy access to all the machine interior surfaces.
Efficient and accurate batter application
A conveyor belt carries the product through a four-layer curtain of batter to ensure full coverage of the top. A small dip construction coats the bottom of the product. Alternatively, you can use a bottom flow box to ensure irregular products are coated completely. The conveyor belt speed can be adjusted by a frequency converter. An adjustable valve in the supply line sets the correct quantity of batter. A specially designed hygienic blower removes excess batter on the upper product side. A scraper or an additional bottom blower pipe removes excess batter from the bottom surface. The bottom blower pipe is optional depending on the application. The blower volume and frequency can be adjusted to suit the application.
