APPARATUSES AND METHODS FOR UNIFORMLY APPLYING VARIOUS BREADING AND COATING MATERIALS ON FOOD PRODUCTS

摘要

An apparatus for applying a coating material onto the food products includes a machine having a machine framework provided with a conveyor framework for receiving a moving endless conveyor belt arranged to move food products thereon from an input end of the machine to an output end thereof. The machine framework is further configured with a coating material transfer arrangement for coating the food products during movement thereof on the conveyor belt and through the conveyor framework. A shaker assembly is mounted to the machine framework, and is configured with a set of opposed fixtures arranged to oscillate back and forth, and receive food products coated on the conveyor belt between the opposed fixtures and through the shaker assembly such that the coated food products are processed with a uniform coating material texture and released from the shaker assembly to the output end of the machine.
