Slurry System

Slurry Coating

Extruded snacks may need to be heavily seasoned for deep flavour absorption into the product. Where separate oil and dry application systems can’t be used, KMG slurry coating systems may be the alternative.

Slurry Coating Machines

FlowWeigher™

FlowWeigher™

The KMG FlowWeigher™, a vibratory flow rate measuring system, is engineered to address precision and accuracy to ensure product quality and optimise manufacturing processes with ground-breaking technology. It stands out as the only system that integrates a load cell directly beneath the vibratory tray that holds the product. This patented innovation enables the real-time measurement of the flow rate of even very light materials with exceptional accuracy.
Flavour Drum

Flavour Drum

Flavour- one crucial aspect of the complex world of snack food production. It’s no secret that the seasoning process is key to creating products that tantalise taste buds. From potato chips to extruded snacks and tortilla chips, the KMG seasoning flavour drums are engineered with a singular focus: to elevate product quality and consistency through precise seasoning.

In the manufacturing process of extruded snacks, achieving deep flavour absorption can be essential to creating a product that delights consumers’ taste buds. One effective method to ensure optimal seasoning is through the use of slurry systems. By combining oil and dry seasoning in a pre-mix and pumping it into the flavour drum, slurry systems deliver consistent and controlled flavour distribution, resulting in a truly satisfying snacking experience.
Conditioning Conveyors

Conditioning Conveyors

Conditioning Conveyors play a pivotal role in providing precision and efficiency, ensuring that slurry-coated products receive the necessary treatment to enhance their flavour and quality. These conveyors are designed to provide the perfect environment for seasoning and oil to fully absorb into the base product, preventing unwanted residue build-up in downstream equipment and packaging.
Smart Seasoning Validation

Smart Seasoning Validation

In the food manufacturing industry, ensuring the safety and quality of products is paramount, especially when it comes to allergen risks. Smart seasoning validation is a cutting-edge solution designed to make it easy for operators to load the correct seasoning and prevent operators from inadvertently filling a seasoning hopper with the wrong seasoning, thereby minimising the potential for allergen cross-contamination. KMG designed these features of smart seasoning validation, and fully recognise its crucial role in maintaining allergen control and safeguarding product integrity.

FAQs about Slurry Coating

What is a slurry coating system?
A slurry coating system mixes oil and dry seasoning into a fluid mixture that’s sprayed onto snack products, then tumbled or mixed to achieve even flavour absorption.
What configurations are supported?
KMG offers continuous and twin‑tank slurry systems, with options for heated tanks, different configurations of seasoning drum and options for powder metering and top-up
How is dosing accuracy handled?
The system can operate using volumetric dosing or integrate with a FlowWeigher™ for gravimetric control to ensure precise seasoning levels.
What types of products are ideal for slurry coating?
Slurry systems work especially well for extruded snacks, dense products, or those needing deeper flavour penetration than surface-only methods.
How is the system constructed for durability and hygiene?
All key elements are built from food-grade stainless steel, with smooth welds and hygienic design to support cleaning, robustness, and long-term service.
