Utilizing precise solids control, optional high-solids Microfilm™ cooking technology, and dual-drum rotation, these skid-mounted systems offer versatile coating capabilities—ranging from clear glazes and snowy frostings to sugar-free formulations—while maximizing plant uptime.

Technical Specifications & System Components

Specification / Module	Details & Capabilities
Manufacturer	Baker Perkins (A Brand of Coperion)
Product Category	Industrial Cereal Syrup Preparation & Coating Systems
System Architecture	Skid-mounted, modular configurations (batch dissolvers to continuous systems)
Dosing & Mixing System	Baker Perkins Autofeed system for automated weighing and slurry preparation
Application Method	Pressurized liquid spraying systems inside rotating coating drums
Low-Solids Coating (70–80% Solids)	Standard skid configuration for frosted/glazed flakes, crisped rice, and expanded cereals (requires downstream dryer).
High-Solids Coating (up to 97% Solids)	Utilizes proprietary Microfilm™ Vacuum Cooking to achieve up to 97% solids, producing a crunchy bite while eliminating the need for a separate post-coating dryer.
Dual Coating Drum Setup	Double-drum design enables uninterrupted production—one drum runs while the second is being cleaned.
Digital Integration	Industry 4.0 Ready with advanced process visualization and automated solids control

Key Commercial & Operational Advantages

Eliminates Capital & Space Requirements: The optional Microfilm™ cooking technology delivers high-solids coatings (up to 97% solids) directly onto products, completely removing the need for a dedicated drying oven.
Continuous Plant Uptime: Dual-drum configuration allows operators to perform CIP (Clean-in-Place) or manual maintenance on one drum while the secondary drum maintains line output.
Sugar & Sugar-Free Versatility: Simple system upgrades allow seamless switching between traditional sugar syrups and health-focused, sugar-free glazings or frostings.
Repeatable Coating Quality: Precise evaporation and dissolving parameters prevent sticky accumulation and guarantee uniform weight, color, and adhesion.
Integrated Process Flow: Designed for seamless positioning immediately following flaking, toasting, or extrusion stages.

Target Applications & Product Capability

Supported End-Products: Frosted flakes, glazed loops & shapes, frosted shredded squares, coated rice cereals, cocoa balls, and direct-expanded snacks.
Coating Finishes: High-impact crunchy coats, glossy glazes, snowy frostings, and sugar-free coatings.
