Applies Coatings and Icing to Food Products
The Fondamat® Coating Machine from SOLLICH offers a versatile solution for confectionery and bakery producers seeking precise coating applications. This machine excels in applying sugar icing, fondant, and compound coatings, seamlessly handling diverse end-products like sugar-coated biscuits and fondant cakes. Its sanitary construction ensures optimal hygiene with a stainless steel build suitable for wet environments. The Fondamat® incorporates a wire belt tiltable infeed table, providing easy access and a streamlined production process. Capable of accommodating working widths from 420 mm to 1300 mm, it features innovative bottom licking rollers for thin coatings and a moisture measurement system with steam injection for maintaining uniform glaze consistency. The optional patented “wheel-in/wheel-out” system delivers rapid mass changes in just five minutes, enhancing operational efficiency. Compatible with drying tunnels for sugar glazes, it integrates smoothly into existing production lines, serving industries like confectionery, bakery, and food processing. The machine also features a wire belt washing device, ensuring the clean handling of sugar-based products, and is designed for seamless integration with upstream and downstream processes, including tempering, enrobing, and cooling. Compliance with industry standards and the provision of customization options make the Fondamat® a key asset for high-speed, continuous operations.
