The BY: 400 is a film coating machine designed to apply smooth, even layers of sugar or chocolate to candies, nuts and confectionery items. It features both inner and outer heating, a digital control system and a compact, durable design suitable for small- to large-scale production.
It can apply sugar coatings, chocolate coatings and similar film coatings. It is also suitable for sugar-coating nuts and dried fruits or applying glossy finishes to various confectionery products.
Inner and outer heating provide uniform temperature across the product bed and coating mass, helping maintain proper viscosity and preventing cold spots. This results in more even distribution, smoother finishes and fewer coating defects.
Capacity varies based on batch size, product type and recipe. Because throughput depends on those variables, please contact the supplier with your product details for an estimated capacity or a production-rate quote.
The BY: 400 is electrically powered. Voltage and phase options may vary by region and configuration—confirm required voltage, frequency and electrical specifications with the supplier when ordering.
The digital panel provides centralized control and monitoring of key process parameters such as heating (inner and outer), process time and likely drum/rotation speed. Exact control options depend on configuration—ask the supplier for a full control-function list or user manual.
Yes. Its compact design and scalable capacity make it appropriate for small-scale artisanal production as well as larger industrial lines. For very high-volume operations, discuss custom configurations or multiple units with the manufacturer.
Typical steps: load the product into the coating pan, set the desired temperature(s) and rotation parameters on the digital panel, add coating syrup or chocolate gradually while the pan rotates, use the heating to control viscosity, and repeat layering until the desired finish is achieved. Refer to the operator manual for detailed recipes and safety instructions.
Perform daily cleaning to remove residues: stop and lock out power, allow to cool, disassemble accessible parts per the manual, and clean with food-safe detergents and warm water. Regularly inspect heating elements, seals, motors and bearings, and follow a preventive-maintenance schedule provided by the manufacturer.
The BY: 400 is built for durability and food production environments. Specific materials (for example, food-grade stainless steel) and certifications (such as CE or local food-safety approvals) should be confirmed with the supplier or found in the product documentation.
Yes. Coating thickness and gloss are typically controlled by parameters such as coating feed rate, number of passes/layers, drum speed, and heating temperature. The digital controls and process settings allow fine-tuning to achieve the desired result.
Manufacturers usually offer spare parts, optional accessories (e.g., polishing units, cooling tunnels) and customization to match production needs. Contact your supplier for available options and lead times.
Follow standard machine safety procedures: ensure proper electrical grounding, use lockout/tagout before maintenance or cleaning, avoid contact with moving parts, wear appropriate PPE, and follow the operator manual for emergency stop and safe operation instructions.
