We designed our Stein 100 Series Breading applicator as an entry level machine specifically for granular free flowing and flour style coating materials. We utilize our “Flat-Bed™” style of coating application and a “Level Glide™” product discharge to maintain product orientation across the width of belt. The 100 is a low cost solution that performs well within its intended design parameters. It can be used as a first step pre-dust or a final breading application. It is ideal for small to mid level production requirements.

Stein breading applicators pioneered the concept of automatic application of breading materials to a wide range of coated products back in 1955. Our Stein Heritage model is the newest addition to the long and highly successful line of dry breading material applicators. It represents an innovative space savings approach and is designed for flour and fine granular free flow coating materials. We built the Heritage on the principal that less is more. It’s simplicity of design means less adjustments while maintaining full operational functionality.
Features & Benefits
Easy to clean and energy efficient
Unique vertical style breading hopper design for extremely small footprint
Maintains same hydration time as larger breading applicators
Independent main product belt variable speed drive from 0 to 60 FPM
Independent drives for cross feed auger, vertical auger, hopper top flow discharge, and sifter
Details
Designed for the application of flour and free flowing coating materials to a wide range of food substrates while maintain full belt width product orientation and gentle handling.
Can be used as a first step predust or final breading application.
