Electrostatic Assisted Dry Ingredient Deposition Apparatus

摘要

A dry ingredient distributor is provided which includes an auger surrounded by a distribution tube having a number of openings for discharging granular or powdered material in a curtain along one half of the distribution tube. An electrostatic field generator is mounted to the distribution tube and vertically spaced from it at a preselected distance, and produces a uniform electrostatic field horizontally along the entire length of the distribution tube to generate an electrostatic field in the path of the food material exiting the outlets of the distribution tube.
