You are a food processing expert. Whether your operation consists of meat processing, pet food processing, or a sector in between, you need equipment that exceeds the quality, safety, and performance standards you hold the rest of your operations to.
For tumblers, this means delivering maximum marinade and even seasoning dispersion with minimal cycle time or breakdowns. At FPEC, our vacuum tumbler systems do just that, and more.
Start the conversation with our team of food processing equipment professionals today to learn more about how our tumblers can enhance your processing tasks.
Maximize Yield Without Slowing Your Line
Meeting production goals starts with equipment you can trust. Downtime, inconsistent marination, and complex changeovers cost time and money and put your reputation as a leading processor on the line.
FPEC engineers and integrates vacuum tumblers that eliminate those challenges. Our tumblers set the benchmark for marination. Built to accelerate flavor infusion while preserving product integrity, each system delivers greater consistency and efficiency, even in high-demand environments like your plant.
From chicken to large whole-muscle products, our tumblers deliver the performance you need to keep your lines running smoothly shift after shift.

- Allen Bradley HMI and PLC Controls: Single-operator interface with recipe programming for quick and accurate changeovers.
- Variable Speed Operation: Adjust tumbling and unloading speeds to match your specific requirements.
- Washdown Duty Components: Gear motors, pumps, and enclosures designed for sanitary conditions.
- Optional Enhancements: CO₂ injection, sanitary open-channel designs, and X-ray detectable gaskets can be added for safety.
These design elements deliver consistency, efficiency, and a greater quantity of product produced across every application. Browse our tumbler designs below.
