The emphasis is on user-friendly operation with very high levels of finished product quality. The Cordon Bleu machine can slice chicken breasts to a pre-determined depth, or completely through if needed. to allow manufacture of e.g. Chicken cordon bleu or chicken kievs etc.

Alco Dusting / Battering / Breading / Coating Systems enable the coating of different food products with pre-dust, batter, breadcrumb e.g. flour, spices, sugar etc. The innovative Alco blow-off system creates minimal dust after the even application of the chosen coating. Options include a multi-flip belt system, dust removing systems and flour feeding hoppers. For the even application/battering of tempura batters or liquid marinades, Alco also manufactures liquid coating machines with the option of a tempura batter mixer.
Alco Hot-Cook Mixing Systems allow perfect cooking results whilst helping retain volatile flavour components to deliver the highest levels of texture, taste and quality. Using unique Alco systems for the cooking and frying of various different products via direct or indirect steam or thermal oil heat transfer, machines undertake the simultaneous cooking and mixing of products in order to create even temperature and uniformity e.g. browning throughout the mix. The machines employ an innovative spring-loaded scraping system to carry out the gentlest mixing of the delicate foodstuffs without creating ‘burn on’ issues.
