Ask a Question About This Product
The BTM.400S is a refrigerated meat tumbling and marinating machine designed for high-volume butchery, restaurant commissaries, and hotel meat preparation operations. It combines rotary drum mixing with integrated refrigeration to process marinated meat products while maintaining cold chain control. The 400 kg capacity suits large-scale production cycles where uniform protein coating and temperature retention are required.
Commercial Application
Commercial meat preparation units use this machine to tumble and marinate proteins in refrigerated conditions. The drum rotation distributes marinades, rubs, and brines uniformly across meat surfaces while preventing temperature abuse. Operators load product, set rotation parameters, and maintain cold chain integrity during extended marinating cycles.
During prep shifts, the refrigerated chamber allows overnight tumbling without bacterial risk. The automatic discharge function reduces manual handling when batches complete. Production kitchens processing 300–400 kg of marinated proteins per cycle gain labour efficiency and consistency across multiple protein SKUs.
Key Operational Advantages
- 400 kg chamber capacity processes large-batch marinating cycles for hotel and commissary operations
- Integrated refrigeration maintains 0–4°C during tumbling to comply with HACCP cold chain protocols
- Stainless steel drum and chamber construction meet commercial hygiene standards for protein contact surfaces
- Automatic discharge system reduces manual handling and cross-contamination risk during batch changeovers
- 5 kW motor with 380V three-phase power delivers consistent rotation torque under full load
- Programmable tumbling cycles allow overnight operation without supervision or temperature drift

Construction & Build Quality
The BTM.400S uses 304-grade stainless steel for all product contact surfaces including the rotating drum, discharge chute, and refrigerated chamber walls. The 5 kW motor drives the tumbling mechanism through a geared reduction system. Insulated refrigeration panels maintain internal temperature during continuous operation.
- 304 stainless steel drum and chamber construction for corrosion resistance and hygiene compliance
- Sealed geared motor assembly isolated from refrigerated chamber to prevent lubricant contamination
- Automatic door locking mechanism prevents discharge during active tumbling cycles
- Refrigeration compressor rated for continuous duty in ambient temperatures up to 35°C
Suitable Operations
- Bakeries

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the effective working capacity for marinating cycles?
A: The 400 kg chamber capacity allows 300–350 kg of protein product per cycle when accounting for marinade volume and tumbling clearance. Actual batch size depends on meat cut density and desired marinade-to-protein ratio.
Q: What motor power drives the tumbling drum?
A: The 5 kW three-phase motor operates at 380V to rotate the drum under full 400 kg load. Motor torque maintains consistent rotation speed regardless of product density or marinade viscosity.
Q: Does the machine offer programmable rotation speed settings?
A: Rotation speed and direction are programmable through the control panel to accommodate different marinating techniques. Intermittent tumbling cycles can be scheduled for overnight operations without continuous supervision.
Q: What refrigeration temperature range does the chamber maintain?
A: The integrated refrigeration system holds internal temperature between 0–4°C during tumbling cycles. This range meets HACCP cold chain requirements for raw protein handling and extended marinating periods.
Q: What is the duty cycle rating for continuous production?
A: The BTM.400S is rated for continuous operation with sequential batch loading. The refrigeration compressor and motor assembly support 24-hour duty cycles in commercial production environments up to 35°C ambient temperature.
