Greatly reduce the amount of powder, seasonings, flavorings, and spices required to evenly coat food products like peanuts, cashews, chips, snacks, candy, cereals, cheese, and pet food using electrostatic technology. Apply powders, coatings, flavorings, vitamins, spices, and oils evenly to a wide range of food, pharmaceutical, and chemical products.

Design and implement a complete food seasoning and coating system using bins, small vibratory feeders, screw feeders, bag filling machines, bucket conveyors, and more. All seasoning and coating machines are manufactured to the specialist food and industry standards.
The recent installation of an electrostatic coating system on a popped chip manufacturing line again demonstrated several benefits to the customer. The customer has different flavorings they apply to the popped chips which makes change over a challenge. The simplicity of the new system made operation and maintenance much simpler and quicker than the previous system.
Electrostatic seasoning systems evenly coat food and pharmaceutical products with seasonings and flavorings. Apply 15-45% less powders, flavors, coatings, vitamins, spices, and oils to a wide range of products. Design and implement a complete system that is manufactured to food-grade industry standards.

Accurate dosing of seasonings into a tumbling drum, easy cleaning, reliability
Feeder used to dispense seasonings into a tumbling drum
Food production facilities use vibrating feeders (a.k.a. vibratory pan feeders -or- scarf feeders) for dispensing seasonings and spices directly onto the surface of food products as they tumble in a drum. This process is referred to as enrobing. The feeder can also meter seasonings precisely into a blended seasoning batch, or as an application of toppings and coatings in downstream processing equipment.
Seasoning potato chips using an electrostatic seasoning system
Electrostatic seasoning systems can be retrofitted to existing food processing equipment and can result in 10-45% powder savings, while delivering excellent seasoning coverage.
With an average seasoning cost of $1-4 per pound (depending on formulation and supplier), return on investment in an electrostatic seasoning system can occur in 4 months or less.
Food grade intermediate bulk container loaded onto an IBC discharge station above bag packaging equipment
Food grade intermediate bulk containers, or IBCs, are easier-to-use, clean, and add into existing operations at food and beverage processing and packaging plants.
The simplest version of an IBC discharge system would include a set of IBCs and a discharge station. This would replace traditional bulk bag unloaders and bulk bags.
Commercial producers seasoning tortilla chips and potato chips can benefit greatly from the use of electrostatics to evenly apply dry spices, powders, seasonings, and oils. This type of seasoning system provides up to 98% coating efficiency of all chip products, while using 10-45% less dry powder seasonings. It also dramatically reduces the amount of airborne dust and seasoning, which results in a much cleaner working area, cleaner seasoning drum, and less line contamination.

Coating and seasoning cashews with a dill pickle seasoning
This system is used for seasoning and coating nuts using electrostatics. The customer was able to produce seasoned nut and seed food products in one day instead of seven. It also greatly reduced production costs associated with the previous system, providing a quick ROI. It can be retrofitted to existing seasoning equipment and systems.
On-site testing is available to prove actual production results.Please contact us for more information.
Apply many different types of seasonings such as ranch, bacon ranch, salt and pepper, parmesan and pepper, buffalo flavored, BBQ, cinnamon, churro flavored, salt and vinegar, sweet and salty, dill pickle, and wasabi. These types of custom seasonings can be applied to nuts, seeds, popcorn, cheese, chips, and other snack food products.
Dill pickle seasoning being applied to cashews using an electrostatic coating process
Using an electrostatic coating system can greatly reduce starch powder build-up on cheese processing lines while reducing airborne powder. This will significantly reduce the amount of waste powder during the coating process.
We accurately control the amount of powder (starch) discharged onto the shredded cheese. This feeding system is designed to atomize dry spices, starches, cellulose powders, and other anti-caking agents as they are applied to the shredded cheese rotating in the food coating drum. Located at the discharge of the dosing feeder is a negatively charged electrostatic field to create an electrostatic charge in the powder. This negatively charge field is pointing toward the cheese rotating in the drum. The starch is then attracted to the positively charged cheese rotating in the drum.
Apply seasoning, spices, sugar and other coatings to peanuts and snack products using electrostatic technology for up to 45% seasoning reduction. It has been used with peanuts, cashews, macadamia nuts and many other types of fragile snack products like chips, pretzels, pastas, rice, cheese and more.
This type of spice application system can be installed on new or existing machines and systems.
