Foodstuffs are coated with particulate material wherein the foodstuff is delivered onto a conveyor onto which the particulate material falls to coat the upper surface of the foodstuff. The partly coated foodstuff is passed to another conveyor and in the gap between the two conveyors particulate material is brought from below and which coats the underside of the foodstuff as it passes onto the other conveyor. The foodstuff fully coated is then conveyed to storage. Excess particulate material falls into a circular rotating drum through which the conveyors pass and is lifted by the rotation of the drum to fall into a hopper and thence to be made to fall upon the top of the foodstuff as described. Part of the particulate material falling onto the foodstuff is allowed to pass through a gap between the conveyors, or gaps in one of the conveyors, to be directed to an upwards moving conveyor to provide that for coating the underside of the partially coated foodstuff. |
