Through a pre-treatment that activates the protein and creates the adhesion bridge, plus controlled application and pressing that fix the breading without crushing it.
Breading & coating
A perfect coating, exact weight control and reproducible appearance.
Description
Coating and breading processes decide the first impression for the end customer. Whether a crispy crumb on a schnitzel, a glossy marinade on grill items or creamy sauces on convenience products: the challenge lies in exact dosing, stable adhesion and gentle processing.
MAKU coating technologies guarantee a homogeneous distribution of wet and dry media, minimise "give-away" (over-dosing) and ensure a flawless appearance, from the nugget to the vegetable pan.
Our recommendations
Breading & dry coating
Key customer challenges
- Breading blow-off: the coating falls off after cooking or freezing.
- Fluctuating pick-up: weight gain varies strongly between products.
- Mechanical stress: product deformation when pressing on the breading.
Our technological answer
Integrated pre-treatment
- Creation of the perfect adhesion bridge between meat and breading.
- Protein activation for a natural adhesive effect.
Gentle breading application
- Uniform distribution without "crushing" the breading structure.
- Preservation of the desired texture (e.g. flaky, fine, crispy).
Controlled pressing
- Fixing the breading without crushing the product.
- Reproducible layer thicknesses and final weights.
Convenience & special coating
Key customer challenges
- Product breakage: delicate components (e.g. gnocchi, mushrooms) fall apart during mixing.
- Inhomogeneity: sauce collects at the bottom of the pack instead of on the product.
- Dosing variations: different sauce ratios per pack.
Our technological answer
Gentle-mixing tumbler
- Extremely gentle intervals for the most delicate products.
- Uniform "enveloping" (coating) instead of aggressive mixing.
- Preservation of piece integrity and appearance.
Precise dosing technology
- Exact sauce dosing in proportion to the solids.
- Reproducible recipe fidelity in every batch.
Benefits at a glance
- Exact pick-up: full control over weight gain and yield.
- Maximum adhesion: no detachment of breading or marinade.
- Product protection: no destruction of delicate structures (gnocchi, fish).
- Versatility: usable for wet, dry and combined processes.
Typical product applications
- Breaded schnitzel & nuggets
- Marinated grill items (steaks, ribs)
- Chicken wings & drumsticks (glazed)
- Vegetarian pan dishes & side dishes
