In focus

The crunch is the first thing a customer notices. A coating system makes it consistent, product after product.

A coating system is a sequence of layers, typically a pre-dust, a batter and a breadcrumb or crumb coating, designed to work together. Each layer adds adhesion, crispness, colour or flavour.

Performance depends on how the product is cooked: fried, baked or par-fried and finished later. The system is specified for the line, the cooking method and the way the product is held and served.
