Coater

A coating system sequentially coats the product in a number of steps that are usually referred to as ‘passes’. A pass combines a dry and wet stage, and passes are often repeated. This may be done to increase the total pick-up or give the end-product a particular taste, look or mouthfeel.

A typical coating system comprises various process stages:

• Pre-dust: a dry coating
• Adhesion batter: a wet coating, applied over the pre-dust to glue the breader or crumb
• Breading: a dry (particulate) coating containing components ranging from flour to bread crumb and coarse cornflakes
