Batter applicator for plant-based products
When producing plant-based convenience foods, achieving an even and consistent coating is crucial to enhance product quality and eye appeal. Common challenges include incomplete coverage and visible belt marks that adversely affect the final appearance and texture.
Ensure even product coverage
The Active Batter Applicator from Marel is designed to lay an unrivaled, all-around coating on plant-based products. The system’s unique technology ensures optimal top and bottom coverage by transferring products onto a bed of batter rather than directly onto a belt. This technique minimizes belt marks and gaps. The active curtain flow system guarantees thorough top coverage, while an air-knife system blows off excess batter to achieve highly consistent coverage and improved yield. Available in various belt widths (600, 700, and 1,000 mm), the Active Batter Applicator is ideal for a range of production scales.
