Nozzles for Spray Coating of Foods
Various foods require a precise coating or glazing. Nozzles are often used in this process. A variety of different types of fluid will need to be sprayed, from an egg glaze to chocolate. Generally speaking the target will be on a moving conveyor so typically flat fan nozzles are used if the motion is continuous, or full cone nozzles for stop/start type setups.
After the pattern of spray has been selected next consideration needs to be given to the volume and consistency of the spray. Generally when selecting nozzles for coating applications a uniform spray at low flow rates is required.
