coat Accurate coating system Mercer BetaCoat System The Mercer BetaCoat utilizes SAS electrostatics and other world class technology to offer a compact and accurate system for coating food products. The Mercer BetaCoat utilizes SAS electrostatics and other world class technology to offer a compact and accurate system for coating food products. By measuring the product and coating respectively, and using electrostatic technology to apply the coating, this system delivers a consistent and cost effective product and an excellent payback. Features: • Get accurate coating to product ratio • Dramatically cut powder and coating wastage • Virtually eliminate dust in your plant, excellent for shredded cheese coating • Reduce cleaning significantly on contact surfaces • Consistent “warp around” product coverage • Achieves significant cost savings • Stop tacky products sticking to contact surfaces • Reduce health issues in your plant The product to be coated is continuously weighed as its delivered to the tumble drum. This signal is relayed back through to the loss in weight metering feeder to dose the correct coating to product ratio. Product coating can be conveyed to the metering feeder hopper via a pneumatic conveyor to reduce dust from manual feeding and potential injury The coating is then delivered to the electrostatic application system which charges the coating as its conveyed into the drum. Product is coated immediately and accurately. Providing a consistent economically produced product with much reduced clean up. System can come in its individual components or as a kit comprising: 1.Continuous weigher 2.Stainless steel tumble drum, flights suited to respective products. 3.Electrostatic delivery system - available for powder or liquid coatings 4.Loss by weight or volumetric auger feeder 5.Pneumatic powder conveyor, to convey powders to auger hopper 6.Centralised control panel and open frame/ easy clean design Harnessing the power of electrostatics How it works Electrostatic technology has been widely used in some manufacturing sectors for several decades, but its application within the food industry is a relatively new phenomenon. The technique works by applying a static charge to the powder, oil or slurry as it is being sprayed onto the base product, such as snacks, chewing gum or tablets. As the flavourings and coatings become ‘negatively’ charged, they adhere automatically to the ‘positive’ base product, creating a true wraparound effect. With several hundred units already installed on food processing production lines around the world, its award winning technology is ideal for use with a wide range of products, including snacks, confectionery, cheese products, breakfast cereals, frozen foods and dry pet food. It is also increasingly popular within the pharmaceutical sector, where it is used in tablet coating.
