Flour applicator for convenience foods and snacks
Achieve uniformly coated products, such as chicken nuggets and fish fillets, while maintaining a dust-free environment with precise flour distribution and minimal waste.
Applies and Regulates Precise Flour Coating
The Active Flour Applicator from Marel is specifically designed for food processing companies seeking precision in flour coating applications. This equipment ensures a consistent and uniform flour layer on products like battered chicken nuggets and breaded onion rings while maintaining a dust-free working environment. Its operation involves creating a loose underbed of flour, allowing products to sink for optimal coverage, while a top-side sprinkle completes the coating. Integrated with a dust collection system, it minimizes airborne particles, maintaining cleanliness in high-speed lines.
Ideal for convenience foods and snacks, the applicator fits seamlessly in pre-processing and processing departments, supporting continuous operations with belt widths available in 600, 700, and 1000 mm to match capacity needs. Its integration with Marel’s Innova Food Processing Software provides real-time monitoring and full traceability throughout the production line. The system is easy to clean and maintain, aided by accessories like the Cyclone for dust filtration and the Tool Cart for organized maintenance sessions. Optional components such as the CrumbFeeder enhance operational ergonomics and efficiency, making the Active Flour Applicator a comprehensive solution for high-demand production environments.
