A seasoning machine for kettle-cooked foods is a piece of equipment designed to evenly coat snacks such as kettle chips, popcorn, or nuts with seasoning. These machines are essential in industrial or commercial food production to ensure consistent flavor distribution across large batches.
Tumbler Drum Machines Feature a rotating drum or barrel that tumbles the food while seasoning is added. Ensure even coating by maintaining continuous motion. Suitable for chips, nuts, and similar products.
Spray Seasoning Machines Use nozzles to spray liquid or oil-based seasonings onto snacks. Can combine with a powder applicator for layering flavor. Common in flavored popcorn production.
