Slurry Coating

Extruded snacks may need to be heavily seasoned for deep flavour absorption into the product. Where separate oil and dry application systems can’t be used, a slurry system may be the alternative.

Slurry systems pump a pre-mix of oil and dry seasoning into the flavour drum via nozzles and a lance. The application can be purely volumetric or controlled via a weight signal from the KMG Flow Weigher. A pre-mix tank prepares a batch of oil and dry seasoning and then pumps it to the holding tank. The slurry is then applied from the holding tank whilst another batch is prepared ready for transfer.
