The versatile GEA CrumbMaster is the industry standard in coating with the lowest crumb breakdown. It virtually eliminates any crumb damage with its unique crumb circulation system. The clever design keeps operating, cleaning and maintenance simple while the innovative crumb divider allows a different crumb size top and bottom, and can handle a wide range of crumbs.
GEA CrumbMaster is suitable for 400mm, 600mm and 1000mm wide lines and can apply fine crumbs up to J-crumbs. Main product applications include red meat, poultry, fish and seafood, vegetables, potato and meat replacement products, including both formed and natural products.

Advanced technology
Every aspect of the CrumbMaster’s design is aimed at generating as little mechanical stress on the crumbs as possible. Slides transport the crumbs without the use of conveyors or screws and a special frame design avoids crushing the crumbs.
To achieve a consistent composition of the coating, and avoid uneven coating of products, the CrumbMaster includes a patented sieve system. However, by exchanging divider plates it is also possible to apply different crumb compositions to the top and the bottom of the breaded products.
A conveyor belt carries the products to be breaded through a bottom layer of breading, while the top coating is applied from a hopper above. An extra-long breading bed, together with an adjustable pressure roller, ensures optimum coating adhesion. At the end of the process, excess crumbs are blown off and returned to the circulation system.
