How does the GEA OptiFlour II 600 work?
The product travels along a patented shaker belt, onto which small doses of flour are fed constantly, forming a uniform layer of controlled thickness. A patented flour divider ensures a consistent, adjustable pickup from both the top and bottom of the product, while an integrated lump remover keeps contaminants out of the coating layer.
An adjustable scraper bar prevents flour from sticking to the belt, and optional pressure rolls allow operators to control how firmly the coating adheres to the product surface. All machine settings can be adjusted externally during production, and a transparent hopper lets the operator keep an eye on flour levels at a glance.
Key advantages of the GEA OptiFlour II 600
The patented dosing system delivers the most even flour distribution on the product, translating into consistent coating quality and reduced coating material losses during production. The closed construction minimizes flour dust in the production hall, and the machine can additionally work with the GEA OptiAir system for dust-free operation.
The absence of loose components significantly simplifies cleaning and maintenance, reducing sanitation downtime, while the robust construction ensures reliable operation under continuous industrial use. The 600 model handles a broad range of coating materials – from thin pre-dust through seeded flour, to light and medium crumbs, and sticky, seasoned coating blends.
Application of the GEA OptiFlour II 600
The GEA OptiFlour II 600 is used on production lines in meat, poultry, and fish processing plants, wherever even coverage of the product with flour, pre-dust, or seasoning is needed ahead of further processing steps – full breading, frying, or freezing. The machine works well as part of a breading line alongside crumb breading machines and dust extraction systems.
