Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 100 to 1,000 litres, with this specific unit offering 450 litres.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying amperage depending on motor size.

Material construction

Vacuum tumblers are almost exclusively constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability.

Vacuum pump

Most units include an integrated or separate vacuum pump to create the necessary processing environment.

Control system

Variable speed drum functionality is common, often controlled via a simple panel or HMI for cycle time and rotation speed.

Footprint

The footprint for a 450-litre unit typically requires a floor area of approximately 1.5m x 1.5m, plus space for access and maintenance.

• What are the benefits of vacuum tumbling?

  Vacuum tumbling helps to open muscle fibres, allowing marinades and brines to penetrate deeper and more quickly, resulting in improved product yield, tenderness, and flavour distribution.

• What kind of maintenance does a vacuum tumbler require?

• Can this unit handle different product types?

• What is the typical processing time for a batch?

• Is this unit suitable for continuous operation?

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.
