EIMA Food Processing – Veggie Production

Veggie product

Vegetarian and vegan deli products made from vegetables

Potato salad, beetroot salad, celeriac salad, vegetable fillings: in deli production the pieces must stay whole and the dressing must reach every one of them. That takes gentle cooking and gentle mixing.

Cooking without overcooking

For salads, vegetables are cooked as cubes or slices. Continuous steam cooking with many injection points makes sure all pieces become equally tender and none fall apart.

Mixing without crushing

Cooked vegetables are delicate. Salad mixers with a screw flight loosen the product while mixing, and dressing and further ingredients are dosed in. The mixing time is controllable and can be set per recipe.

Vegan from the recipe up

Whether a salad is vegetarian or vegan is decided by the dressing. Vegan mayonnaise, oil-and-vinegar marinades or plant-based yoghurt run through the same machines as classic recipes. For labelling, clean separation at product changeover is what counts.

Seasoning in the drum

For seasoned vegetable pieces, a seasoning drum doses the spice by weight and distributes it evenly via tumbling profiles. This way every batch tastes the same.

Frequently asked questions

Can one line process vegan and non-vegan recipes?

Yes, if it is cleaned thoroughly at changeover. We build the cleaning into the design so that all product-contact parts are easy to reach.
