Glass Gmbh - GLASS MIXER/TUMBLER MODEL VSM300

• Used for gentle mixing and tumbling of delicate food products such as salads, marinated meats, or confectionery.
• Ideal for uniform coating of ingredients, ensuring even distribution of spices, oils, or glazes.
• Suitable for marinating processes, allowing for consistent absorption of marinades into products.
• Can be employed in the pharmaceutical industry for blending powders or granulates where gentle action is required.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 100 to 300 litres, depending on product density.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a 3-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz.

Mixing mechanism

The VSM-300 features scrape surface mixing, which is effective for viscous products and prevents sticking.

Tilting mechanism

This model includes automatic tilting, facilitating efficient loading and unloading of product.

Construction material

Typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability.

Footprint

The footprint for a unit of this capacity class commonly requires approximately 1.5m x 1.5m of floor space, plus operational clearance.

• What is 'scrape surface mixing' and why is it beneficial?

  Scrape surface mixing involves blades or paddles that continuously scrape the inner surface of the mixing vessel. This prevents product build-up, ensures thorough mixing, and is particularly beneficial for viscous or delicate products.

• Is this unit suitable for vacuum processing?

• What kind of maintenance is typically required for a tumbler of this type?

• Can this machine handle both wet and dry ingredients?

• What are the advantages of automatic tilting?

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.
