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.

Function of glutinous rice ball coating machine

The core function of the glutinous rice ball coating machine is to evenly coat the surface of the glutinous rice ball with a layer of powder or particles through a vibrating screen, roller or conveyor belt technology to ensure a round shape and consistent taste. It is suitable for a variety of glutinous rice ball, including unfilled glutinous rice ball (pearl powder ball), filled glutinous rice ball (sesame glutinous rice ball, peanut glutinous rice ball) and special glutinous rice products (such as green ball, mochi).

Screening mesh: 60-80 mesh for glutinous rice flour, 20-40 mesh for sesame, 30-50 mesh for red rice flour.

Output: 50-100kg/h for small machines, and more than 200kg/h for large machines.

Powder types: glutinous rice flour, sesame, powdered sugar, soybean powder, etc.

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

The glutinous rice ball coating machine is based on the vibrating screen, with an inner ring and a climbing screen. When the machine is running, the glutinous rice ball are constantly jumping and rolling in the screen through vibration. At the same time, the coating is evenly sprinkled on the surface of the glutinous rice ball under the action of vibration, and fully contacts with the coating, so that the coating is evenly attached to the surface of the glutinous rice ball.

 The inner ring can prolong the retention time of the glutinous rice ball in the screen, making the coating more uniform and comprehensive. The climbing screen can separate the flour from the glutinous rice ball and the agglomerated dough, so that the flour remains in the screen frame for recycling, and the agglomerated dough and glutinous rice ball are automatically discharged.

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

Ensure the uniformity and consistency of the coating: The coating machine adopts the technology of uniform spreading, which can evenly cover the powder on the surface of each glutinous rice ball, avoiding the problems of uneven thickness and incomplete coverage that may occur in manual operation, and ensuring the consistency of product quality.

Product differentiation and functional expansion: By replacing powders of different mesh sizes and types, the coating machine can achieve glutinous rice ball with different flavors and tastes, such as delicate glutinous rice flour, coarse corn flour to increase chewing, or nutritional powder with special functions, etc., which helps product differentiation.

Save raw materials and reduce waste: The vibration screening system of the glutinous rice ball coating machine automatically recycles excess powder, and the powder utilization rate is increased by 20%-30%, reducing production costs. Equipped with a powder drying device to avoid the waste of high-mesh powder (such as 120-mesh sugar powder) due to humidity.

Improve the efficiency of coating during the production process: Compared with the traditional manual coating method, the coating machine can realize automatic and continuous operation, process a large number of glutinous rice ball in a short time, greatly improve production efficiency, and meet the needs of large-scale production.

Recommended mesh size of glutinous rice ball coating machine

The mesh size selection of glutinous rice ball coating machine needs to comprehensively consider the type of powder, coating effect, process stability and equipment performance. According to the processing requirements of glutinous rice ball, the following mesh sizes are recommended:

Conventional glutinous rice flour/starch (80-100 mesh)

The powder is fine and can be evenly attached to the surface of glutinous rice ball, with good anti-adhesion effect and does not affect the smooth taste of glutinous rice ball. It is suitable for standardized production such as quick-frozen glutinous rice ball and pre-packaged glutinous rice ball.

Special flavor powder (100-120 mesh)

Ultrafine powder (such as cocoa powder, powdered sugar) can be quickly adsorbed and enhance flavor penetration, suitable for surface decoration or special formulas. It needs to be combined with moisture-proof technology to avoid agglomeration.

Coarse particle coating (40-60 mesh)

(such as peanut crumbs, sesame) increases the crispness or layering of the glutinous rice ball, suitable for innovative flavors (such as salty glutinous rice ball). The speed of the coating machine needs to be adjusted to prevent particles from falling off.

Application of glutinous rice ball coating machine

Large-scale quick-frozen food production line: In modern food factories, coating machines can efficiently and evenly spread glutinous rice flour, starch or other pre-treated powders on the surface of glutinous rice ball. The powder flow rate and spreading speed of the coating machine can be precisely adjusted according to product specifications and requirements.

Small and medium-sized food processing enterprises: Compact glutinous rice ball coating machines can be integrated into existing semi-automatic production lines. Workers transport the formed glutinous rice ball to the entrance of the coating machine, and the machine automatically completes the coating process. Compared with manual hand-spreading of powder, it is more efficient, the coating is more uniform, and the health risks are reduced.

Restaurant chains and central kitchens: The coated glutinous rice ball can be quickly frozen and packaged, and uniformly distributed to various stores. The central kitchen may adjust the type and thickness of the coating powder according to different dish requirements, such as special dessert glutinous rice ball.

Special functional glutinous rice ball production: Some manufacturers have begun to develop glutinous rice ball with special functions, such as glutinous rice ball with added medicinal and edible ingredients or dietary fiber. In addition to the basic functions of anti-adhesion and improving taste, the powder coating machine can also be used to coat special 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.
