Dorit - Vacuum Tumbler

• Marinating and tenderising meat, poultry, and seafood products.
• Mixing and coating various food items, such as snacks or vegetables, with spices or sauces.
• Curing bacon, ham, and other processed meat products.
• Improving product yield and consistency in food processing operations.

Typical capacity

Vacuum tumblers in this class commonly range from 100 to 1000 litres, with this unit specified at 400 litres.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz.

Vacuum pump

Integrated or external vacuum pumps are standard, crucial for product absorption and texture.

Process controls

Modern vacuum tumblers typically feature programmable logic controllers (PLCs) for precise control over tumbling speed, vacuum level, and cycle time.

Construction material

Food-grade stainless steel (e.g., AISI 304 or 316) is standard for all product contact parts to ensure hygiene and durability.

Tumbling speed

Variable speed control is commonly found, allowing adjustment for different product types and desired outcomes.

• What maintenance is typically required for a used vacuum tumbler?

  Regular cleaning and sanitisation of all product contact surfaces are essential. Routine checks of the vacuum pump, seals, and electrical components are also typically required to ensure operational efficiency.

• Can this unit be used for non-meat products?

• What are the benefits of vacuum tumbling over atmospheric tumbling?

• Is specialist installation required for a vacuum tumbler?

• What spare parts are commonly needed for a used Dorit vacuum tumbler?

Meat and poultry tumblers and massagers are valued for their consistent ability to enhance product texture and marinade absorption across commercial production. Buyers typically report reliable performance when used regularly, though condition of internal drums and seals warrants careful inspection on used units. Key strengths include labour savings and uniform results compared to manual methods. When purchasing secondhand, check motor function, drum integrity, and whether all safety guards remain intact. Stainless steel models tend to hold up better in demanding environments.
