Preduster for fine-grain coating in food processing
Ensure your products receive a perfect, consistent fine-grain coating with advanced control over the coating process, significantly enhancing texture and appearance while minimizing waste.
Applies and Controls Fine-Grain Coating
The alco Preduster ABM PRO & VARIO-FLIP from alco food-machines is engineered to deliver precise and consistent coating for a wide range of food products. Utilizing a dual-belt system, the equipment applies fine-grained powders, ensuring an even and controlled application on products like fish sticks, chicken tenders, and plant-based nuggets. The Vario-Flip feature adds versatility by flipping products for enhanced coating absorption, ideal for replicating a handmade finish on delicate or irregular items.
Suitable for the bakery, confectionery, pet food, and plant-based protein industries, this machine excels in high-speed, continuous production environments. It allows easy adjustment of coating quantities through a user-friendly PLC operating system, which integrates seamlessly with production lines. The alco Preduster also minimizes energy consumption with an efficient stainless steel drive system, and its stainless steel construction ensures durability and compliance with hygiene standards.
Operators benefit from minimal dust generation and efficient cleaning, thanks to its easy-access design and integrated cleaning systems. Whether you need precise flour placement on pastries or consistent spice application on chicken parts, the alco Preduster ABM PRO & VARIO-FLIP offers customizable engineering support to meet your specific processing needs.
