Shuffle-Mix - Fruit Feeder

• Incorporating whole or diced fruit, nuts, chocolate chips, or other inclusions into ice cream, yogurt, or similar viscous products.
• Adding particulates to confectionery items such as nougat, fudge, or bar fillings.
• Distributing ingredients evenly into doughs or batters for bakery products like fruit loaves or muffins.
• Enhancing breakfast cereals or snack mixes with dried fruits or nuts.

Typical capacity

Varies significantly by model, but units for this class of equipment commonly handle throughputs from 500 kg/hr up to several tonnes/hr, depending on the inclusion type and product viscosity.

Power supply

Typically 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz, with power requirements commonly ranging from 2 kW to 10 kW, depending on motor size and pump configuration.

Inclusion size suitability

Commonly designed to handle inclusions from small particles up to pieces typically not exceeding 25mm to 35mm, to prevent blockages and ensure even distribution.

Material of construction

Product contact parts are typically manufactured from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Feeding mechanism

Often features a hopper with an auger or positive displacement pump system to accurately meter and introduce inclusions into the main product stream.

Integration

Designed for inline integration with existing processing lines, commonly positioned before final mixing or packaging stages.

• What types of inclusions can a fruit feeder handle?

  Fruit feeders are typically designed to handle a wide range of solid or semi-solid inclusions, including fresh, frozen, or dried fruits, nuts, chocolate pieces, candies, and cookie dough chunks. The specific capabilities depend on the feeder's design and pump type.

• How is a fruit feeder integrated into a production line?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used fruit feeder?

• Can this equipment handle delicate inclusions without damage?

• What are the common hygiene considerations for fruit feeders?

Dough handling and sheeting accessories are valued for improving bakery workflow efficiency and consistency. Buyers typically seek well-maintained rollers, dividers and moulds that operate smoothly without excessive wear. Key considerations include motor condition, alignment accuracy, and compatibility with existing production lines. These accessories generally perform reliably when properly serviced, with stainless steel components particularly appreciated for durability in commercial kitchens. Mechanical simplicity often makes repairs straightforward.
