Spako machines & product types
1. Mixers & Blenders
Spako Industrial Mixers
Spako mixers are designed for efficient, homogeneous mixing of food masses prior to grinding, forming or finishing.
- Single-shaft mixers — for general batch mixing
- Double-shaft mixers — for heavy and viscous product mixing
- Large batch capacities, tailored to industrial output
- Optional vacuum or steam injection for specialised applications
These mixers are used to prepare meat mixes, sauces, batters and plant-based formulations.
2. Grinders, Cutters & Emulsifiers
Grinder & Emulsifier Systems
Spako offers machines that combine grinding with emulsifying and mixing functions for consistent texture and size reduction:
- Multi-stage grinders — for coarse to fine particle control
- Emulsifying cutters — for stable emulsions and fine dispersions
- Integrated mixing and cutting heads to achieve controlled texture
- Configurable speeds and knife sets to match product properties
These systems provide robust performance in meat emulsions, fish pastes, batters and other viscous products.
3. Battering & Coating Equipment
Batter & Coating Machines
Spako supplies dedicated battering and coating systems designed to prepare products for further processing such as frying or baking:
- Battering systems — consistent liquid batter application
- Coating/breading systems — even dry crumb, panko or specialty coatings
- Adjustable pick-up control for desired coating thickness
- Designed for ease of cleaning and high throughput
These systems support production of breaded products, coated snacks and convenience foods.
4. Portioning & Weighing Solutions
Portioning Systems
Spako offers portioning and weighing equipment that ensures accurate, repeatable product portioning:
- Weight-based portioners — for consistent portion control
- Volume or length portioners — for extruded or shaped products
- Options for integration with upstream mixers and downstream forming lines
Portioning accuracy is critical for cost control, quality consistency and automated production flows.
How Spako technology works
Spako machines are engineered around principles of mechanical precision, hygienic food contact design and operational flexibility:
- Dynamic mixing geometry with tailored shaft and blade designs for homogenous distribution
- Variable grinding and emulsification through interchangeable knives and configurable speeds
- Controlled batter and coating application with adjustable pick-up and curtain systems
- Robust portioning systems with automated weight control and feedback loops
These principles help processors achieve uniform texture, consistent product quality and efficient production runs.
What is Spako specialised in?
Spako specialises in industrial food processing systems that deliver:
- efficient, homogeneous mixing and blending
- robust grinding and emulsifying performance
- controlled battering and coating
- accurate portioning and weighing
Their machines are ideal for producers of meat products, coated snacks, convenience foods, pet food, bakery batters and plant-based formulations, where consistent processing and high throughput matter.
