Revolving Pan Machines

Revolving pans (coatings pans, coating drums) are used to coat product with different substances. The product is loaded into the revolving pan and the coating is either placed in the pan with the product or sprayed on using a spray bar which is positioned inside the revolving pan. (Picture your sugar coating on your morning cereal.) As the revolving pan rotates (revolves), it agitates the product and the coating substance in the revolving pan. The gentle agitation of the revolving pan equipment and its contents results in more coating being applied to the product. Some systems allow the coating substance to fall through perforations in the coating pan if the coating does not immediately adhere to the product. This method is one way to control the amount of coating that is applied to the product.
