Saturn's Sprinkling Machine

Granular products such as sugars, nuts, dried herbs, breadcrumbs, and various seeds, such as poppy, sesame and cracked wheat, can be evenly sprinkled on to the top of produce using Saturn's sprinkler. The sprinkler head is mounted over its own integral conveyor.

The principle of the machine is that an interchangeable, grooved roller, driven by an inverter controlled, electric motor, which is mounted in the bottom of a hopper containing the product to be sprinkled.

The roller rotates, dispensing product onto the product on the transport band. The application rate is regulated by adjusting the speed of rotation of the roller, using the digital potentiometer on the control cabinet.

The grooves in the roller are machined to the granular size of the product being sprinkled. Where different granular sizes of products are to be used, interchangeable application rollers may be required for each product.
