Glutinous Rice Ball Coating Machine

Glutinous rice ball coating machine is designed for all kinds of quick-frozen glutinous rice ball, aiming to achieve efficient and uniform powder adhesion. The equipment adopts an advanced powder conveying and spreading system to ensure the coverage and consistency of the powder coating on the surface of the glutinous rice ball. The mesh size of the sieve can be adjusted according to different needs. It is recommended to use glutinous rice flour or starch with 80-120 mesh to achieve a delicate and uniform coating effect. The equipment running speed is adjustable to adapt to the production capacity of different production lines, and the processing capacity can reach 500-2000 kg per hour.

The Glutinous Rice Ball Coating Machine is made of food-grade 304 stainless steel. This material has a smooth surface, making it less prone to powder accumulation and easy to clean. Because the machine size and processing capacity vary, the price ranges from $800 to $4200. Smaller models are suitable for shops or small workshops and are cheaper; for factories with high production volumes, a large machine capable of processing 3000 kg per hour is needed, and the price will be higher.

Function of glutinous rice ball coating machine

The Glutinous Rice Ball Coating Machine uses structures such as vibrating screens, rollers, or conveyor belts to evenly coat powdered or granular ingredients onto the surface of glutinous rice balls, resulting in rounded balls with a uniform texture. Whether it's unfilled pearl rice balls, filled sesame or peanut rice balls, or specialty glutinous rice desserts like mung bean products and mochi, this machine can coat them all. Different mesh sizes are used for coating: 60-80 mesh for glutinous rice flour, 20-40 mesh for sesame flour, and 30-50 mesh for red rice flour. The machines come in various sizes; smaller models can process 50-100 kg per hour, while larger models can exceed 200 kg per hour. They are suitable for coating glutinous rice flour, sesame powder, sugar powder, and bean flour.

What is the working principle of glutinous rice ball coating machine?

The Glutinous Rice Ball Coating Machine is based on a vibrating sieve and consists of an inner ring and a climbing sieve. When the machine is working, the glutinous rice ball bounces and tumbles continuously within the sieve due to constant vibration. Simultaneously, the coating powder is evenly distributed by the vibration, making full contact with the rice ball and gradually adhering to its surface. The inner ring allows the rice ball to stay on the sieve longer, ensuring more comprehensive coating. The climbing sieve separates the flour, rice ball, and clumps of flour; the flour remains in the sieve frame for reuse, while the rice ball and clumps of dough are automatically discharged from the machine.  

What are the advantages of the glutinous rice ball coating machine?

The Glutinous Rice Ball Coating Machine ensures an even coating of powder onto each glutinous rice ball, reducing uneven coating thickness and missed areas that occur with manual coating, resulting in a more consistent appearance and texture. By using different types of powder, a variety of glutinous rice balls can be created, such as fine glutinous rice flour, granulated cornstarch, or powders with nutritional components, enriching the product range. The machine's built-in sieving structure collects excess powder for reuse, increasing the powder utilization rate and reducing raw material waste. The accompanying powder drying structure keeps powders like fine sugar dry, reducing losses caused by moisture and clumping. Compared to manual coating, the machine can operate continuously, processing larger quantities of glutinous rice balls at once, meeting the needs of mass production.

Glutinous Rice Ball Coating Machine Applications

The Glutinous Rice Ball Coating Machine evenly coats the surface of glutinous rice balls with a fine, protective coating of powder, effectively preventing them from sticking together due to moisture or sugar seepage, and maintaining each glutinous rice ball's integrity. The resulting dry, smooth outer coating not only makes it easy to cook directly but also enhances the texture, making it easier for both home and restaurant customers to use. Compared to traditional manual coating methods, this machine offers increased efficiency and reduced time, allowing for a smoother packaging process and reduced breakage, thereby improving product appearance and sales efficiency while ensuring the integrity of the filling.

Recommended mesh size of glutinous rice ball coating machine

The selection of a Glutinous Rice Ball Coating Machine should be based on factors such as powder type, coating effect, production stability, and equipment availability. For processing glutinous rice balls, ordinary glutinous rice flour and starch are suitable for 80 to 100 mesh. The fine powder adheres evenly to the surface of the rice balls, preventing sticking without altering their soft and chewy texture. This is suitable for mass production of frozen and pre-packaged glutinous rice balls. Special flavoring powders are suitable for 100 to 120 mesh. Ultra-fine powders like cocoa powder and powdered sugar adhere more quickly to the surface, enhancing flavor. These are often used for surface decoration and creating special flavors. When using these powders, it's important to prevent moisture absorption and clumping. Coarse-grained coatings are suitable for 40 to 60 mesh. Powders such as crushed peanuts and sesame seeds add layers of texture and a slightly crispy feel to the rice balls. When using these powders, the machine's speed can be adjusted to minimize particle loss.

Application of glutinous rice ball coating machine

The Glutinous Rice Ball Coating Machine is suitable for use in frozen food production and central kitchens in restaurants. It automatically adjusts the amount of powder used and the operating speed to ensure more even coating of glutinous rice balls, improving hygiene and product taste. It can also coat functional glutinous rice balls with added medicinal herbs, dietary fiber, etc., meeting diverse production needs. In large-scale frozen food production lines, it can coat the surface of glutinous rice balls with powders such as glutinous rice flour and starch, with powder flow and coating speed adjustable according to product specifications. Small and medium-sized food processing enterprises can integrate small-scale equipment into their existing semi-automatic production lines. Workers simply place the shaped glutinous rice balls in the machine, which automatically completes the coating process, resulting in more even coating than manual sprinkling and reducing hygiene risks. For chain restaurants and central kitchens, the coated glutinous rice balls can be frozen and delivered to various stores. The type and thickness of the coating can be changed according to different dishes, and it can also be used to coat various functional powders.

Glutinous rice ball coating machine is a machine used in the production process of glutinous rice balls to evenly coat the glutinous rice balls with powdered materials. It is used to increase the outer layer of powder on the glutinous rice balls to ensure that each glutinous rice ball is smooth and evenly covered with powder. The powders usually used are dry powder, talcum powder or other powders. This machine is very common in the food processing industry, especially for large-scale production of glutinous rice balls, rice cakes and other products.
