Machine specifications range from small simple single disc machines, which give a top coverage to a product, to multiple discs, which can be positioned above and below the product band to give total product coverage. Spinning disc spray technology has many applications in the food processing industries, and has many advantages over conventional spray systems when applying liquid coatings. No air is used and therefore the liquid is not atomised, thus minimising air pollution.
In addition, no jets or nozzles are used which cause downtime in production through blocked nozzles. In fact, the minimum orifice in a spinning disc system is 5.2 mm, which allows slurries with particulates in suspension to be sprayed.
Machine specifications range from small simple single disc machines, which give a top coverage to a product, to multiple discs, which can be positioned above and below the product band to give total product coverage.
The larger machines utilise our patented system of application, which consists of a module on which the disc is mounted, with the liquid being pumped through the module from the rear to the front face of the disc.
This enables us to use a bigger diameter disc than our competitors, which means that to obtain the same peripheral speed for the spray pattern required we do not have to spin the disc as fast. In some of the more complex liquids sprayed e.g., artificial egg glazes, which are compounds of fats and proteins, this is advantageous, as high speed spinning on a disc has been shown to alter the compounds to their detriment.
