Bettcher Foodservice Introduces
DuraSift™ Breading Tables
Birmingham, Oh., July 8, 2009 — Bettcher Industries, Inc., a leading worldwide manufacturer of
equipment for food processing and foodservice operations, announces the introduction of new
DuraSift™ breading tables. These tables build on proven technology while incorporating
additional performance features and enhancements that make them the most efficient, userfriendly equipment on the market today.
The DuraSift™ breading table reduces the cost of ownership for foodservice operators while
improving sifting efficiency and enhancing the overall quality and consistency of fresh-breaded
items such as fried chicken, fish filets, country fried steaks, veggies and other foods.
The breading table is engineered to blend and sift flour quickly, efficiently and effortlessly. The
highly effective to-and-fro action of the sifter ensures an even distribution of spices and other
ingredients throughout the breading mixture. In addition, the unique oscillating sifting basket and
automatic separator break down more dough balls for increased efficiency, while capturing more
reusable breading.
With DuraSift™ equipment, foodservice operators are assured that the final product will conform
to their exact specifications, with no variation in the taste or texture of the breading.
Accomplishing this will satisfy customer demands for consistent taste and quality in the menu
items they receive – from order to order, visit to visit, and store to store.
The sifter and breading table are engineered to perform well and stand up to the rigors of the
foodservice kitchen environment, beginning with its solid stainless steel construction plus a
heavy-duty motor. The dough ball separator and stainless steel sifter perform with maximum
efficiency and deliver long-life durability. Importantly, the sifting mechanism is not of the
conventional brush-and-bar design, and therefore never loses its efficiency over time.
Moreover, the unique, patented split-lug design features two plastic lugs that are far lighter and
easier to lift to return flour to the top breading lug. Compared to conventional large single lug
designs of other breading tables, the DuraSift™ equipment is easier and safer for employees to
operate. The equipment also operates more quietly – and vibration-free – during daily operation,
while having fewer wear parts to monitor and replace makes the cost of ownership significantly
lower over time.
As an added benefit, equipment cleaning is easy with the DuraSift™ breading table. No tools are
necessary to remove the sifter assembly for cleaning, and all components are easily accessible
from the front. All removable components are dishwasher-safe for cleaning.
According to Jim Wallace, Foodservice Group Director at Bettcher Industries, the introduction of
DuraSift™ breading tables adds to the company’s broad product line solutions for foodservice
operators who want the distinction of preparing and serving fresh-breaded menu items. “Our
Optimax™ automated batter breading machines are extremely popular with customers,” Wallace
said. “And now with the introduction of DuraSift™, we’re offering superior-performing sifters
and breading tables, enabling us to deliver advanced technology and productivity in one
powerful, convenient package.”
