Raque - Inline Topping Applicator

• Applying dry or wet toppings to products on a conveyor belt in a continuous flow.
• Distributing shredded cheese, nuts, seeds, or spices onto pizzas, ready meals, or bakery items.
• Used in high-volume food production lines requiring precise and consistent topping application.
• Integrating into existing processing lines for automated product finishing.

Typical capacity

Varies significantly by model, but units of this type commonly handle hundreds to thousands of items per hour, depending on product size and topping density.

Power supply

Typically requires a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with specific amperage requirements varying by motor size and features.

Footprint

Inline units typically have a linear footprint, with length depending on the number of application zones and width matching the conveyor belt, often ranging from 1.5m to 3m in length.

Topping material compatibility

Designed for a range of dry granular, shredded, or wet viscous toppings. Specific feeder types are optimised for different material characteristics.

Construction material

Units for food processing are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability.

Control system

Commonly features a PLC-based control system with a HMI for setting parameters such as topping quantity, belt speed, and application patterns.

Meat coating equipment holds a solid reputation for improving product consistency and presentation in poultry and meat processing operations. Buyers typically prioritize even coating application, ease of cleaning, and durability of contact surfaces when selecting used units. Key strengths include reduced product waste, faster processing speeds, and minimal operator intervention required. Potential purchasers should examine coating drums or belts for wear, verify spray nozzle functionality, and confirm electrical and mechanical components operate smoothly. Well-maintained machines generally deliver reliable performance in demanding production environments.
