Product overviewA vibratory sprinkler (model SE-C) doses small dry solid particles — sugar, salt, sesame, herbs, flour or crushed nuts — onto products moving on a conveyor. It distributes topping evenly across the full belt width with no mechanical feeders or rotating parts and is mounted over the conveyor between the forming/coating step and the cooling tunnel. The belt width and installation position are specified at order.
Process suitability — immediate exclusions- The SE-C doses dry, free-flowing particles only; it is not suitable for liquid or paste toppings.
- It scatters toppings across the belt and does not place whole pieces at fixed positions.
- Particles must land on a wet or tacky surface; they will not adhere after the cooling tunnel.
- The unit is built to the conveyor belt width specified at order and is not adjustable across that range after delivery.
Belt width and modelOne model (SE-C) is built to a single ordered belt width covering conveyors from 200 to 1000 mm. A unit narrower than the belt leaves edges uncoated; a unit wider than the belt throws topping past the edges.
Vibratory dosing principleControlled vibratory motion moves particles from the hopper toward the discharge edge. Vibration amplitude sets feed intensity; hopper sliding gates set the discharge opening area. Together they regulate flow rate and spread the topping evenly across the belt width without mechanical feeders or rotating parts. Changing belt speed without retuning feed controls alters coating thickness.
Before or after coatingThe same unit supports placement either before or after a coating station without mechanical change. After coating, particles land on wet chocolate, glaze, or syrup and adhere as the surface sets. Before coating, inclusions are laid down and may be partly or fully covered downstream. The fixed requirement is a wet or tacky surface when topping lands.
Position in the production lineThe sprinkler is installed over the conveyor between the machine that creates the wet surface (forming or coating) and the cooling tunnel that sets the surface. Upstream examples: enrober, enrobing line, or molding line. Downstream: cooling tunnel that sets the coated/topped product.
