VAKONA 220 ESK TUMBLER

• Used for marinating meat, poultry, and seafood products to enhance flavour and tenderness.
• Ideal for tumbling and massaging various food items to improve texture and protein extraction.
• Suitable for mixing ingredients thoroughly in a controlled environment.
• Often employed in the production of cured meats, sausages, and ready meals.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, drum capacities commonly range from 150 to 250 litres, suitable for medium-batch processing.

Power supply

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

Construction material

As stated, units like this are universally constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability in food processing environments.

Control system

Commonly features a user-friendly control panel, often with programmable cycles for time, vacuum, and rotation speed.

Vacuum system

Typically includes an integrated vacuum pump to facilitate deeper marinade penetration and improve product texture.

Footprint

A unit of this size would typically require a floor space of approximately 1.5m x 1m, though exact dimensions vary by model.

• What are the main benefits of using a vacuum tumbler?

  Vacuum tumblers enhance product quality by accelerating marination, improving tenderness, and ensuring even distribution of ingredients. The vacuum also helps to open muscle fibres for better absorption.

• Is this type of equipment difficult to clean?

• What kind of maintenance does a tumbler require?

• Can this machine handle different types of products?

• What safety features are typically included?

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.
