Fecha de publicación: 29/10/2024 Fuente: Food Processing PPM Technologies (PPM), a member of Duravant’s Food Sorting and Handling Solutions group, has introduced its FlavorWright SmartSpray food coating system.

Designed specifically for vitamins, gummies and other confectionery goods, the system applies oil and other liquids through continuous operation. It combines a robust belt conveyor, liquid applicator and tumbling drum with a fully integrated control system, enabling processors to achieve consistent coating applications while reducing labour requirements and minimising waste.

The system is an adaption of the company’s FlavorWright All-in-One seasoning system, with a specialised belt conveyor designed for wet, sticky and hard-to-move confectionery products.

The system uses a continuous coating process that begins as product enters the tumbling drum via the belt conveyor. The adjustable liquid applicator creates controlled spray patterns for uniform coverage while preventing oversaturation, and the tumbling action is designed to ensure even distribution across all product surfaces.

Other features include recipe-driven operation, interchangeable components, and control over production parameters to allow processors to fine-tune both conveyor speed and drum angle.

Two drum sizes are available in plastic and stainless-steel construction. Plastic drums feature seamless, FDA-approved construction with a non-stick finish to prevent product build-up and are easily interchangeable using PPM’s EZ-swap magnetic technology.

Built with sanitation in mind, the system is equipped with NEMA 4X-rated components for wash-down environments and food-grade stainless-steel construction throughout. Its compact footprint allows for easy integration into existing production lines.
