Slurry Applicator and Twin-Tank Mix & Use System

PPM slurry application systems apply precise, consistent pressure coatings of high-viscosity liquids and slurry mixtures, with accurate weight pick-ups from 1% to 100%. They handle cheese/oil/whey mixes, seasonings, honey, sugar glazes and frostings, tallows, digests, gels, gums, egg powders, oil suspensions and more. A complete system includes an infeed conveyor, a coating drum with spray manifold and a Mix & Use tank.

Spray manifold

Manifolds have interchangeable threaded nozzles for easy cleaning and quick changeover. To prevent clogging, the nozzles have air-actuated cleanout pistons controlled from the touchscreen PLC. One continuous pump feeds all nozzles in the manifold, instead of one pump per nozzle, which reduces wear and maintenance. Peristaltic, gear or lobe positive displacement pumps can be used, depending on requirements and product characteristics.

Twin-tank system

The twin-tank system mixes, blends, controls temperature, stores and continuously supplies liquids and slurries to the spray applicators. Several closed recirculation loops prevent solidification and keep product in suspension even when it is not being sprayed. Mix & Use tanks are available in single-wall or double-wall insulated designs and in several standard sizes.

PPM runs a product testing and development programme with several complete seasoning systems, where technicians can trial powder, oil or slurry applications on your product.
