Abstract
A method is presented of coating a food product with a finely divided particulate coating material comprising the steps of providing a flow of said coating material to a moving belt which provides a product path centrally thereof; splitting said flow and providing a bed of said material of predetermined thickness on a central portion of said product path while diverting parts of said material flow laterally on both sides of said central portion; placing a food product on said central portion; advancing said product and said coating material down said path; and discharging said coated product at the end of said path. The method also includes the additional steps of moving the laterally diverted parts of material flow laterally inwardly on top of the food product on the central portion of the product path, and assisting excess coating material under and around the product to return to circulation.
