Electrostatic coating

O Grupo Piovan patenteou a cobertura eletrostática, uma tecnologia de última geração para aplicação de pós alimentícios em produtos doces ou salgados. Esta tecnologia garante máxima aderência e uniformidade de aplicação de pós e partículas em todos os lados do produto.

Electrostatic application provides real benefits in the handling of food powders and particles with different consistencies and particle sizes, such as sugar, cocoa, starch, flour, flavourings, salt, seeds, flakes and grains.

More specifically, electrostatic coating guarantees an increase in productivity by reducing overspray, thereby generating a significant reduction in costs.

An electrostatic dispenser generates an electric field between itself and the substrate on which the powder is applied. The powder passes through the electric field that is generated, becoming negatively charged. The product to which the coating is to be applied, being electrically grounded, allows the powder to adhere permanently and tenaciously.

The solution is applicable to both sweet and savory products. For years, the application of flour has been used in the processing of products such as cured meats.
