WHO WE ARE
We are engineers, scientists, bakers and awkward people
Food Coating Expertise (FCE) assists at several stages of a coating project: product formulation, ingredient sourcing, experiment supervision, equipment design, process engineering, plant implementation, and production audit. It requires product, ingredient, and equipment to combine into a process.

The coating involves applying liquid or powder ingredients to a food product.

The scope may be palatability, preservation, adding a barrier, or just handling.

The coating is done in various ways, like dribbling, spraying, dipping, and mixing.

The coating step itself is inserted in a production process between a forming process and a finishing step.

We don’t achieve the coating until the topical layer is set, and the product can be further processed and packed.

The whole operation is submitted to the procedures and regulations attached to food production.
“ Expertise lies in combining facts, coordinating acts, and bridging gaps. It is as much hands-on practice as a learned science. ”

WHAT WE DO
The platform that helps
you develop your project
A coating application is usually a long experience, full of stops and starts. The coating combines numeral factors to achieve a satisfactory result. Many actors are involved (ingredient producers, machine manufacturers, R&D, engineering, marketing, and quality staff, to name a few), each of them having a nugget or a treasure of knowledge to share.
