The TCA Battery Mixer is a high‑viscosity slurry preparation equipment specially designed for the prepared food, seafood and fruit/vegetable deep‑processing industries. It is widely used for batch mixing and preparation of tempura batter, flour paste, coating slurry, brine solutions and other products. The machine employs a specially designed agitator combined with a jacketed mixing tank. Through programmable control, it fully automates high‑speed mixing, low‑speed anti‑sedimentation circulation and low‑level alarming. All food‑contact parts are made of food‑grade SUS304 stainless steel. An integrated discharge pump at the bottom allows the mixer to be linked with downstream equipment such as batter applicators and forming machines to create an automatic slurry supply system.
The TCA Battery Mixer is suitable for batters of medium viscosity, such as tempura batter, as well as for high‑viscosity mixtures like the coarse batters used for onion rings and squid rings. It is easy to operate, simple to clean, and produces a lump‑free, uniform slurry, making it an ideal pre‑treatment solution for fast‑food central kitchens, prepared food processing plants and export‑oriented food enterprises.
Working Principle
The TCA Battery Mixer operates on the physical mixing principle that combines mechanical agitation with fluid circulation. Batter powder, water and auxiliary ingredients are added into the jacketed mixing tank according to the process recipe. The specially designed agitator rotates at high speed to shear, disperse and blend the materials, rapidly and uniformly incorporating the powder into the liquid to produce a lump‑free, fine and stable slurry.
For batters that are prone to sedimentation, such as tempura batter, the unit can switch to a low‑speed stirring mode, maintaining a slow circulating flow of the slurry inside the tank to prevent solid particles from settling. This ensures that the batter delivered to the downstream batter applicator has a consistent solids concentration and stable viscosity.
The mixing tank is provided with a jacket, which can be used to maintain the slurry temperature by adding ice chips or circulating a coolant (glycol or chilled water), keeping the batter within the optimal temperature range of 10‑20℃. The low‑temperature environment effectively inhibits fermentation and spoilage, extends the usable life of the batter, and promotes a crisp, evenly colored coating on the final fried product.
At the outlet, the machine is equipped with a discharge pump that can automatically supply batter to an overhead batter curtain, a batter applicator or a dipping tank. The entire unit is controlled by a PLC with a touch screen interface. Operators can pre‑set parameters such as high‑speed mixing time, low‑speed stirring intervals, holding temperature and low‑level alarm set‑points. The machine then executes all steps automatically, significantly reducing manual labour requirements.
| Component | Material | Function Description |
|---|---|---|
| Mixing tank | SUS304 stainless steel | Jacketed construction allows ice chips or coolant circulation for batter temperature maintenance; tank capacity is available in 100L, 200L and other models; conical or curved bottom transitions for smooth batter discharge |
| Agitator | SUS304 stainless steel | Specially designed low‑shear impeller to prevent batter aeration; close clearance between impeller and tank wall ensures complete powder dispersion without lumps |
| Drive system | Dual‑speed motor / Frequency motor | Provides both high‑speed and low‑speed operation for switching between rapid mixing and low‑speed anti‑sedimentation circulation; motor power sized according to tank capacity |
| Discharge pump | SUS304 stainless steel | Pump fitted at the bottom outlet delivers batter under stable pressure to the batter applicator or holding tank; a ball valve at the pump outlet allows stepless flow regulation |
| Temperature control system | Temperature sensor + jacket | Real‑time batter temperature monitoring; ice chips or coolant in the jacket maintain the batter within the optimal operating range of 10‑20℃ |
| Level detection system | Level sensor / Float switch | Monitors batter level in real time; low‑level alarm alerts operator to refill, preventing pump dry‑running damage |
| Control system | PLC + touch screen | Allows setting of high‑speed mixing duration, low‑speed stirring intervals, holding parameters and alarm set‑points; starts/stops the discharge pump; supports multiple recipe storage |
| Frame | SUS304 stainless steel | Full stainless steel square‑tube welded frame for stability; trolley‑type design allows flexible movement for workshop cleaning and repositioning |
