Breading & coating

Coating and breading processes make the first impression on the end customer. Whether crispy breading for schnitzel, shiny marinade for grilled food or creamy sauces for convenience products: The challenge lies in precise dosing, stable adhesion and gentle processing.

Maku coating technologies guarantee homogeneous distribution of wet and dry media, minimize „give-away“ (overdosing) and ensure a flawless appearance - from nuggets to vegetable pans.

Perfect casing, precise weight control and reproducible appearance

Breading & dry coating

Our recommendations

Breading & dry coating

Application: Schnitzel, cordon bleu, nuggets, fish sticks Aim: Crispy texture, defined pick-up, dust-free processing

Key challenges for the customer

  1. Breading abrasion („blow-off“): Breading falls off after cooking or freezing.

  2. Fluctuating pick-up: Weight gain varies greatly between products.

  3. Mechanical stress: Product deformation when pressing on the breading.

Integrated pre-treatment
  • Creating the perfect adhesive bridge between meat and breading.

  • Protein activation for a natural adhesive effect.                

Gentle breading application
  • Even distribution without crushing the breading structure.

  • Obtaining the desired texture (e.g. flaky, fine, crispy).

Controlled pressure
  • Fixing the breading without crushing the product.

  • Reproducible layer thicknesses and final weights.

Our recommendations

Convenience & special coating

Application: Pan-fried dishes, gnocchi, vegetable mixtures Aim: Homogeneous sauce distribution without product breakage

Key challenges for the customer

  1. Product breakage: Sensitive components (e.g. gnocchi, mushrooms) disintegrate during mixing.

  2. Inhomogeneity: Sauce collects at the bottom of the packaging instead of on the product.

  3. Dosage variations: Different proportions of sauce per pack.

Soft-mix tumbler
  • Extremely gentle intervals for the most sensitive products.

  • Uniform „coating“ instead of aggressive mixing.

  • Preservation of the lumpiness and appearance.

Precise dosing technology
  • Precise dosing of sauces in relation to the solids.

  • Reproducible recipe fidelity in every batch.
