ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for coating an article on both sides with a continuous layer of granular flowable material of constant thickness. The apparatus includes a belt for transporting the articles, with the material being capable of passing through the belt. The belt further includes an uppermost run and a lowermost run, with guide plates positioned beneath the uppermost and lowermost runs, with the material and the belt capable of being moved over the guide plates. The lowermost run of the belt is twice oppositely guided downward in the direction of the belt's movement to form three belt sections in the lowermost run. The three belt sections further include a first belt section, a second belt section positioned beneath the first belt section, and a third belt section positioned beneath the second belt section. The apparatus further includes a buffer hopper positioned beneath the first belt section, with the outlet of the hopper positioned above the guide plate of the lowermost run, for receiving the material, and for automatically compensating fluctuations in the material supply.
