Features

• Automated Sushi Rice Mixing: Automates the repetitive process of combining freshly cooked rice with sushi vinegar and seasonings for commercial shari preparation.
• Simultaneous Mixing and Cooling: Mixes seasoned rice while filtered airflow helps remove heat, combining two important sushi-rice preparation steps in one machine.
• Gentle Side-to-Side Mixing: The rocking drum motion is designed to blend rice and vinegar without relying on aggressive continuous agitation.
• Specially Designed Rice Stirring Bar: AUTEC's mixing bar separates and turns the rice as the drum moves to promote more even seasoning distribution and reduce mixing unevenness.
• 7.3–14.5 lb. Batch Capacity: Accommodates approximately 3.3–6.6 kg of cooked rice for flexible commercial batch production.
• Up to 20 Cups of Cooked Rice: Handles up to approximately 20 cups per cycle for restaurant, retail, and commissary sushi-rice preparation.
• Approximately 3–5 Minute Production Cycle: Prepares a commercial batch of seasoned sushi rice in minutes while controlling both mixing and cooling.
• Four Programmable Courses: Stores up to four preparation programs so operators can quickly return to established shari settings for different batch requirements.
• Adjustable Cooling: Cooling intensity can be programmed to account for different rice temperatures, batch conditions, and desired finished results.
• Adjustable Mixing: Operators can change the amount of mixing to fine-tune vinegar distribution and the finished texture of the sushi rice.
• Adjustable Rice Volume Setting: Programmable rice-volume controls allow courses to be configured for different batch quantities.
• Filtered-Air Cooling System: Air passes through a filter before entering the mixing area to support controlled cooling during sushi-rice preparation.
• Special-Resin Mixing Drum: AUTEC uses a special resin designed to reduce rice adhesion to the drum without relying on Teflon-coated food-contact surfaces.
• No Teflon-Coated Parts: The food-contact design avoids Teflon-coated components, eliminating the need for periodic recoating associated with worn fluoropolymer surfaces.
• Removable Lightweight Drum: The approximately 7.72-lb. drum can be detached from the machine for routine washing and sanitation.
• Removable Food-Contact Components: The drum, rice stirring bar, drum cover, and filter can be removed for routine cleaning and maintenance.
• SUS304 Stainless-Steel Exterior: Corrosion-resistant stainless-steel construction supports durability and cleaning in commercial foodservice environments.
• Compact Countertop Design: At approximately 19.2 inches wide, the ASM730A delivers automated shari preparation without requiring the footprint of a larger floor-standing rice mixer.
• Simple Start/Stop Operation: Once rice, sushi vinegar, and the desired course are prepared, the machine runs the programmed mixing and cooling sequence automatically.
• Self-Diagnostic Error Display: Built-in monitoring displays error codes when operating conditions require attention.
• Safety Interlock System: Machine operation is monitored to help prevent running when components such as the drum are not correctly installed.
• Designed for Commercial Shari Preparation: Suitable for sushi restaurants, Japanese restaurants, supermarket sushi departments, commissaries, catering kitchens, hotels, universities, and other operations preparing seasoned sushi rice at volume.
• Integrates with Sushi Production Equipment: Can serve as the rice-preparation stage upstream of commercial nigiri makers, rice sheeters, maki makers, onigiri machines, and other sushi automation equipment.
• Made in Japan: Manufactured by AUTEC in Japan as part of its commercial sushi and rice-processing equipment line.
• 1-Year Manufacturer Warranty: Backed by AUTEC’s one-year warranty for added confidence in commercial foodservice use.
