ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for applying a liquid coating to food products, including a continuous dipper chain which submerges the food products in the coating liquid. A restraining mechanism in the form of a pressure plate or chain acts upon the tops of the products to maintain them in submerged position during travel through the liquid. In one embodiment the dipper chain is driven intermittently to allow excess liquid on the food products to drain off. A continuous drying chain is provided to carry coated food products along a drying run, a transfer system being employed for moving the food products from the dipper chain to the drying chain. The drying chain is flexible and supported at relatively great intervals to allow the chain to form into peaks and valleys. The food products tip forward and backward in negotiating these peaks and valleys, breaking away the bottoms of the food products and the drying chain and preventing adherence.
