JBT Marel coating equipment leads the way in product coverage and consistency, coating virtually any type of fish, meat, poultry, vegetable and plant-based products. Our industrial pre dusting, battering, and breading machines evenly coat products of any shape, using an underbed and top side curtain to prevent voids and maximize yield.

Pre-duster machines

Pre-dust (or flouring) is a common first dry coating step. The fine layer of flour that is applied to your mass serves as an adhesive, allowing other coatings to adhere better.

  • Available as a dedicated pre-duster (with optional homestyle configuration) or as a 3‑in‑1 version with flatbed and drum breading.
  • Underbed and top side pre-dusting for uniform coverage
  • Supports juiciness and adds yield
  • Blow off excess flour for an optimal end-product

Battering machines

A layer of batter, which is a liquid based on starch and proteins, will ensure that breading adheres properly to the product. JBT Marel offers several wet coating machines. They ensure excellent distribution of batter, remove and reuse excess batter and are suitable for a wide range of capacities.

  • Available models for highly viscous batters and tempura batters
  • Optimal product coverage—no voids or belt marks
  • Unbeatable pick-up
  • High line speed up to 29 meters per minute

Breading machines
