Interview with Isabelle BILLET, Laboratory Manager, Charal Group:

We do around 100 analyses a day and blend muscle, the raw material from carcasses, minced meat, charcuterie and ready meals. We use BagFilter filter bags with BagMixer blenders. We chose BagMixer because they have some very appreciable advantages: the Click and Clean paddles, which are removable and autoclavable, make it easy to clean the blending chamber and the paddles, which is hygienic and much more pleasant.

The adjustable distance between the paddles and the door is also a major advantage. For environmental product testing, for example, the paddles can be moved forward to adapt the mixing chamber to the nature and size of the sample.

Finally, the robustness of the equipment, guaranteed for 3 years, is important. We work with MiniMix blenders for blending small samples, BagMixer for standard samples and JumboMix for large samples, up to 2000 mL.

Our laboratory has 25 years’ experience and is a pilot laboratory for all the group’s laboratories.
