Flour applicator for convenience foods and snacks
Producing convenience foods and snacks requires precise application of a fine coating to ensure an attractive, crunchy finish. A challenge faced in this process is achieving uniform coverage while maintaining a dust-free environment.
Achieve uniform flour coating with dust-free operation
The Active Flour Applicator by Marel provides an effective pre-dust coating solution for the convenience food and snack industry. It ensures uniform flour coverage on products with smooth surfaces by creating a loose underbed of flour for products to sink into, while sprinkling flour on the top side. The machine’s air knife then removes excess flour evenly. A built-in vacuum system keeps dust within the system, ensuring a clean production area. Optional accessories like the dust cyclone filter and pressure roller or vibrating plate further improve results. The system supports belt widths of 600, 700, and 1000 mm, catering to various production needs.
