• External Dimensions (WxDxH) 1260x1800x1550mm

• Power 3.0kW
• Weight 500kg

Benefits of integrated cooling in a meat tumbler: 

• Costs of cooling a whole room uses a massive amount of kW/h compared to a tumbler that has cooling directly in the jacket
• Efficiency of a tumbler in a fridge / cooled room, is much lower than a tumbler with cooling directly in the jacket - during the cycle meat generates heat and in order to keep the temp down, you have to pause (typically 10min turn, 5 min pause). In a machine with cooling the drum is much colder so the product temp stays low and you can eliminate the pause. This means that daily production on a cooling machine is equivalent to a none cooling machine with a much higher capacity. This depends on cycle time, but a 2000 litre cooling tumbler might be equivalent to a 3000 litre tumbler without cooling.
• Placing a non-cooling tumbler in a fridge creates more reliability issues. Vacuum pumps dont like the cold, particularly when first starting up. Electrics like control panel can have more issues with condensation etc.

The Nowick MA300 PSCH vacuum tumbler with cooling is the same machine as the MA300 vacuum tumbler but is fitted with an internal cooling system, with direct cooling of the drum jacket (no glycol). The vacuum tumbler's jacket is insulated and all the chill is moved inside the drum. 

The cooling system on vacuum tumblers has many benefits in production:

• shortens the massaging times
• maintains the temperature inside the drum at the same level
• maintains the natural colour of the product
• high production efficiency
• high product quality, regardless of the temperature conditions in the curing plant
• optimal binding of proteins
• improves the micro-biological quality of the product

The Nowicki MA200 PSCH is built from acid resistant stainless steel with grade 304 (AISI), manufactured to the latest CE directives and meeting the highest hygienic requirements. The vacuum tumblers drum has precisely designed paddles inside to ensure gentle and consistent tumbling with wet or dry marinade. The inside of the drum has a polished finish which gives better results when massaging biiger muscles or meat.

The vacuum tumbler is designed for tenderising and softening the meat under vacuum during the production of ham, shoulder, sirloin, bacon and soft pieces of chicken. The ideally shaped paddles inside the drum along with the touch screen control panel allows the vacuum tumbler to meet the quality parameters of the the tenderised meat, to increase the output of the finished product, to achieve the optimum binding of proteins and to reduce the mixing time to a minimum with no negative effect on the appearance of the fresh meat. 

The Nowicki MA300 PSCH vacuum tumbler is fitted with a Busch pump as standard, the suction hose is connected via the front opening hole lid, which in turn ensures better hygiene levels inside the drum. The Busch vacuum pump is protected from flooding by two external vacuum traps, with the temperature monitor at the back of the drum. The working temperature of the vacuum tumbler is between 0'C and 21'C, which is easily adjusted by using the control panel. 

The Nowicki vacuum tumbler is fitted with a 5.7" touch screen control panel which can store up to 30 programmes, each program with 12 steps. The touch screen control panel controls drum speed, vacuum levels, timers, temperature, deferred start times and pulsating vacuum whilst also showing the value of the parameters in real time. The compact construction of the vacuum tumbler make it easy to manouvre and store out of the way when not in use, with the cleaning down at the end of the day extremely easy. There is an option to add SCADA to the vacuum tumbler to give remote access to control, monitor and analysis of the machine.
