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.
