IMPROVEMENTS IN AND RELATING TO COATING FOOD PRODUCTS

摘要

A process for coating food products (1) comprises arranging a succession of food products, spaced apart from each other, on a first support surface (2). A covering layer of a viscous coating material (3) is applied to the food products (1) and to the first support surface (2) so that the coating material adheres to each food product and contacts the first support surface at least over a region surrounding the food product. A layer of viscous coating material (3) is applied to a second support surface (12) and food products (1) together with the coating material adhering to them are removed from the first support surface (2) and placed on the second support surface. The coating material (3) on the second support surface (12) adheres to the partially coated food products (1) and, where it meets them, unites with the coating material applied to the food products when they were on the first support surface (2), so that each food product is enrobed in the coating material.
