Features

  • High-Capacity Commercial Sushi Rice Mixing: Prepares large batches of seasoned sushi rice for restaurants, commissaries, supermarket sushi programs, and other high-volume foodservice operations.
  • Automated Shari Preparation: Combines rice-and-vinegar mixing and cooling in one machine to reduce the repetitive manual work traditionally performed with a hangiri and rice paddle.
  • Up to 40 Cups Per Batch: Large-capacity drum accommodates approximately 14.5–29 lb. of cooked rice for volume sushi production.
  • Approximately 3–5 Minute Mixing Cycle: Processes a commercial batch of sushi rice in minutes while controlling both seasoning distribution and cooling.
  • Gentle Cradle-Like Mixing Motion: The drum rocks in a controlled cradle motion designed to mix rice evenly without aggressive continuous agitation.
  • Integrated Rice Stirring Bar: Works with the moving drum to distribute sushi vinegar and seasonings throughout the cooked rice.
  • Simultaneous Mixing and Cooling: Forced airflow cools the rice during the mixing cycle, consolidating two important shari-preparation steps into one process.
  • Temperature-Sensing Control: An integrated temperature sensor helps account for differences in freshly cooked rice so operators can achieve more repeatable finished shari.
  • Four Programmable Courses: Stores up to four production programs for recurring batch sizes, recipes, and sushi-rice preparation standards.
  • Customizable Mixing Settings: Operators can adjust rotation, rice-input, and cooling parameters to match different batches and desired finished-rice characteristics.
  • Automatic Rice Discharge: Auto-Feed transfers finished mixed rice directly into a rice container beneath the machine after the production cycle is complete.
  • Filtered-Air Cooling: Air passes through a filter before entering the drum to support controlled cooling during sushi-rice preparation.
  • Special-Resin Mixing Drum: The removable drum uses a purpose-developed resin designed to reduce rice adhesion and simplify daily cleaning.
  • No Teflon-Coated Food-Contact Parts: AUTEC avoids Teflon-coated components in the mixing system, eliminating the need for recoating associated with worn coated surfaces.
  • SUS304 Stainless-Steel Exterior: Corrosion-resistant stainless-steel construction supports durability, sanitation, and repeated commercial use.
  • Only Two Removable Components: Simplified disassembly minimizes the number of parts that must be removed during routine cleaning.
  • Approximately 1-Minute Assembly and Disassembly: Designed for quick setup and breakdown during daily commercial operation.
  • Removable Drum for Sink Cleaning: The lightweight resin drum releases from the machine so it can be carried directly to a sink for washing.
  • Mobile Floor-Standing Design: The larger ASM780A uses a rolling base that allows the machine to be repositioned and provides clearance for a rice container beneath the discharge area.
  • Drum-Cover Safety Interlock: Operation stops when the drum cover is opened to support safer commercial use.
  • Suitable for Japanese Mixed Rice: AUTEC also identifies the cradle-style mixing system as suitable for Japanese mixed-rice preparations when mixing time is adjusted appropriately.
  • Integrates with Commercial Sushi Production: Prepared shari can move downstream to nigiri makers, maki rice sheeters, roll wrappers, onigiri machines, and other sushi automation equipment.
  • Designed for High-Volume Foodservice: Suitable for sushi restaurants, Japanese restaurants, supermarket sushi departments, commissaries, central kitchens, catering operations, hotels, universities, and other volume production environments.
  • Made in Japan: Manufactured by AUTEC in Tokyo, 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.
