Solutions under real production conditions

Development, testing and optimization of breadcrumbs

With our own technical center, we develop and test breadcrumbs and coating systems tailored to your application – efficiently, under real production conditions, and with a clear focus on quality, process reliability, and market success.

The benefits of our technical center

More than a supplier: your development partner

An in-house technical center creates the link between ideas, product development, and later industrial implementation. Here, we test raw materials, recipes, processes, and application properties under practical conditions. This allows us to develop solutions that do not only work on paper, but also deliver reliable results in real production environments.

  • Development and optimization of custom breadcrumbs and coating systems

  • Practical testing under real-world conditions

  • Faster coordination between development, implementation, and production

  • Greater certainty before scaling up and launching products
  • More efficient product development with reliable results

What customers can expect at our pilot plant

From your requirements to the right solution

Every application has different requirements for adhesion, appearance, crunch, color, processability, and final results. At our technical center, we develop and test solutions tailored to your specific needs.

Application-focused testing

We simulate relevant processes and evaluate how breadcrumbs and coating systems perform in real-world applications.

Custom product development

We develop customized solutions that match your production processes and quality requirements.

Evaluation and optimization

Together, we analyze results and optimize recipes, structure, and processing properties.

Reliable transfer from development to production

Testing in our technical center helps transfer developments into production reliably.

Your benefits

Every application has different requirements for adhesion, appearance, crunch, color, processability, and final results. At our technical center, we test and develop solutions specifically tailored to your requirements.

1. Faster development processes

Trials and optimizations can be carried out at an early stage – reducing development times and accelerating decision-making.

2. Lower risk for new products

Feasibility, product performance, and process behavior are evaluated in advance. This creates confidence before resources are invested in larger production runs.

3. Custom solutions for specific applications

Whether for meat, fish, vegetarian, or vegan applications: products are tailored to their specific purpose.

4. Greater process reliability

Application-focused testing helps identify critical factors early and optimize them in a targeted way.

5. Higher product quality

Texture, color, adhesion, and sensory properties can be specifically developed and improved.

6. Improved collaboration

The technical center connects development, collaboration, and decision-making in a seamless process.

7. Quicker product launch

Ideas become reliable concepts – with a clear direction for the next stage of development or production.

Insights from our technical center

“We wanted to know exactly how our product performs under real production conditions – especially the adhesion of the coating. At the BRATA technical center, we were able to test different combinations of pre-dust, wet batter, and breadcrumbs directly on the line. The results were immediately visible and measurable. This helped us significantly improve process reliability for our production.”
“For us, achieving a consistent golden-brown color was essential. At the BRATA technical center, we were able to compare different breadcrumbs under identical conditions and make targeted adjustments. Step by step, we achieved exactly the appearance we envisioned for our final product – consistent and reliable.”
“We had an idea, but no clear path to bring it to life. At the BRATA technical center, we were able to test different approaches, adjust components, and see directly in the process what worked. This freedom to experiment – combined with real production relevance – was a major step forward for our development.”

Frequently asked questions

How can a technical center support my product development?

A technical center enables practical testing and targeted optimization before larger production steps begin. This saves time, reduces risk, and provides a reliable foundation for decision-making.

The BRATA technical center is a miniature production facility where we develop and test products together with our customers under real production conditions. The entire process is replicated here – from the raw material to the finished end product.

At our technical center, all components can be used and combined: pre-dust, batter mixes, breadcrumbs, blended coatings, or tempura batters. They can be tested individually or in combination to achieve the optimal results for the final product.

Yes. Our technical center is designed to evaluate specific requirements related to the product, application, and process, and to develop tailored solutions.
Our technical center is designed for customers and partners who want to develop, optimize, or validate products. Whether it is a specific adjustment or a completely new idea – solutions are created through direct collaboration and under practical conditions.
Typical applications include meat, fish, convenience, as well as vegetarian and vegan products.
All developments are tested directly for industrial suitability. This means stable processes, reproducible results, and reliable performance in future production environments.
Because key factors such as adhesion, texture, appearance, and process behavior can be evaluated at an early stage. This increases confidence for the next steps in development.
