The articles (P) to be coated are passed into a tubular duct (2) into which a bed (M) of loose coating material is also fed. The duct, which is preferably inclined with its input end (2a) in a higher position than its output end (2b), is then subjected to an angular rotational movement back and forth about its principal axis (X2). This movement causes the articles (P) to roll sideways on the bed (M) of coating material as they descend along the duct (2), whilst the material is also thrown onto the articles (P) being coated, particularly as a result of the sudden changing of the sense of rotation of the duct (2). The preferred application is for the coating of food products such as confectionery products. <IMAGE> |
