A spray coating machine and process accommodates coating pans of various sizes and simplifies cleaning after particulate material in the pan is coated. A selected pan is supported on a trolley carried by a wheeled cart. After the cart is positioned adjacent the coating machine, the trolley and pan are extended into the machine, and then the pan lifted for support by a rotatable drive shaft and castors. The trolley is then removed from the machine, and the door is closed so that the coating process can commence. When coating is complete, the door is opened, and the trolley extended into the machine under the pan and raised for removal of the castors. Then, the trolley and pan are withdrawn from the machine. The trolley does not need cleaning after spraying, since the trolley is outside the machine during spraying of the coating solution.

A food product coating apparatus has a main conveyor, a coating-material spreading system for spreading coating material across the main conveyor, and a coating-material recirculation system for recirculating excess-coating material spilling out the discharge end of the main conveyor. The recirculation system has at least one transverse collection conveyor and at least one counter-flow return conveyor, both of which like the main conveyor made of solid web material. The coating-material spreading system comprises a first overhead sifting loader near the intake end and a spaced away second overhead sifting loader. A food-product inflow conveyor transfers an inflow of food product to the main conveyor between the first and second loaders.

The present disclosure provides equipment for riverway model manufacturing, including a framework assembly, a supply assembly, a rail driving assembly, a detection assembly, and a control device. A pipe chain conveyor is used to transport model sand into a second rail; topographic data corresponding to a riverway is input into a controller; the controller controls, according to the topographic data, a driving assembly and a supply assembly to discharge a material; meanwhile, a compaction device compacts the model sand; a detection assembly detects a height of the riverway model in real time; and after a predetermined height is achieved, manufacturing of next topography is performed. The problems that the current riverway model manufacturing has high labor cost, the model manufacturing is laborious, and the working intensity is high are solved.
