The candy coating machine needs to pay attention to the following key issues during coating to ensure the coating effect and overall quality of the candy:

1、 Preparation before coating

Equipment inspection: check whether the coating pan, spray device, blowing device, etc. can work normally. Ensure that the area in direct contact with the candy has been disinfected.

Preparation of coating materials: Select appropriate coating materials based on the type of candy and the desired coating effect. Ensure that the quality of coating materials meets food safety standards.

2、 Operation during the coating process

Speed adjustment: In the early stage of coating, adjust the speed of the coating pot to a lower level, so that the candy can gradually adapt to the rolling and coating process. As the coating progresses, gradually increase the speed to ensure that the candy can be flipped well in the pot, thereby evenly distributing the coating material on the surface of the candy.

Spray system adjustment: adjust the working pressure of the spray system to ensure that the spray effect meets the coating requirements. Check the spray device regularly to prevent blockage or excessive spray.

Drying control: Adjust the hot air volume of the electric heating wire and hot air blower to ensure timely drying of the coating material sprayed on the candy. Avoid excessive drying that may cause rough or cracked candy surfaces, and also prevent insufficient drying that may result in incomplete curing of the coating material.

3、 Monitoring and adjustment during the coating process

Coating quality monitoring: During the coating process, the coating quality of the candy should be checked from time to time, including the uniformity, color, luster, etc. of the coating. If problems such as uneven coating, uneven color or mottle are found, the parameters such as the amount of coating material, rotation speed, spray pressure and drying temperature should be adjusted in time.

Solution viscosity control: Ensure that the viscosity of the added solution is moderate, so that the solution can be evenly distributed on the surface of the candy. When the viscosity of the solution is too high, it is difficult to distribute evenly, and it is necessary to adjust the concentration of the solution appropriately or add an appropriate amount of diluent.

4、 Safety and hygiene

Operational safety: Follow safety operating procedures and avoid contact with rotating parts with hands or other objects. During the operation, pay attention to preventing accidents such as burns or electric shocks.

Equipment cleaning: Before and after coating, the candy coating machine should be thoroughly cleaned to avoid residue affecting the quality and taste of the candy. Regularly maintain and upkeep the equipment to ensure its normal operation and extend its service life.

5、 Other precautions

Avoid excessive coating: Excessive coating may result in poor candy taste or a thick coating layer that is difficult to digest. Therefore, the amount of coating material should be controlled during the coating process to avoid excessive coating.

After coating treatment: The coated candy should be properly dried and cooled to ensure that the coating layer can firmly adhere to the surface of the candy. Avoid direct sunlight exposure or high-temperature baking to prevent candy from discoloration or spoilage.

To sum up, the candy coating machine needs to pay attention to many aspects such as equipment inspection and preparation, speed adjustment during operation, spray system adjustment and drying control, monitoring and adjustment during coating, safety and health, and other precautions when coating. Only by comprehensively considering and properly addressing these issues can we ensure the normal operation of the candy coating machine and the high-quality output of candies.
