The AUTEC ASM730A Shari Sushi Rice Mixer is a compact commercial machine designed to automate the critical process of mixing freshly cooked rice with sushi vinegar and seasonings while cooling the rice to produce consistent shari. Rather than relying on repetitive hand mixing in a hangiri or mixing bowl, the ASM730A combines controlled drum movement, a specially designed rice stirring bar, and filtered forced air to blend and cool sushi rice with greater repeatability from batch to batch. AUTEC's operating manual identifies the ASM730A specifically as a commercial vinegar and rice mixer intended primarily for preparing sushi rice.

Rather than relying on repetitive hand mixing in a hangiri or mixing bowl, the ASM730A combines controlled drum movement, a specially designed rice stirring bar, and filtered forced air to blend and cool sushi rice with greater repeatability from batch to batch. AUTEC's operating manual identifies the ASM730A specifically as a commercial vinegar and rice mixer intended primarily for preparing sushi rice.

The tabletop ASM730A handles approximately 7.3–14.5 lb. (3.3–6.6 kg) of cooked rice per batch, equivalent to up to approximately 20 cups of cooked rice, with a typical production cycle of approximately 3–5 minutes. During operation, the drum moves from side to side while the internal stirring bar separates and mixes the rice with sushi vinegar. Filtered airflow simultaneously assists with cooling, helping operators control the texture, temperature, seasoning distribution, and consistency of the finished sushi rice.

Four programmable courses allow the operator to save different combinations of cooling intensity, mixing amount, and rice volume for varying batch sizes or preparation standards. This makes the ASM730A useful for sushi restaurants and production kitchens that need repeatable shari throughout the day while accommodating differences in cooked rice condition and batch requirements.

As a commercial shari mixer, sushi rice mixer, rice-and-vinegar mixer, and sushi rice preparation machine, the ASM730A is suited to sushi restaurants, omakase and Japanese restaurants, supermarket sushi departments, commissaries, catering kitchens, hotels, universities, and other foodservice operations preparing sushi rice at volume. Its approximately 19.2-inch-wide countertop design, removable mixing drum, special-resin food-contact components, and programmable operation provide a compact alternative to larger sushi-rice mixing systems.

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.
