Abstract:
Installation for sugarcoating or encasing products by rotation of a cylindrical rotor (2), comprising:a distribution and proportioning manifold (13), mounted on support and guide rails (4a, 4aâ€²) outside the rotor (2) permitting its total withdrawal from the rotor (2) for the washing phase and its emplacement without any internal support within said rotor for the operating phase, wherein the rails (4a, 4aâ€²) are formed by two horizontal beams (4, 4â€²) parallel to the axis (3) of rotation of the rotor which is also the longitudinal axis of the manifold (13), fixed at one of their ends (5, 5â€²) to a chassis (6) of the rotor (2) and at their other end (7, 7â€²) to a transverse horizontal bar (8) supported by at least one foot (9), and in that at the level of one of its ends, the manifold (13) is secured to a parallelepipedal frame (11), which frame (11) also supports a closure means (25) of the rotor (2) and which frame (11) slides along the horizontal beams (4a, 4aâ€²), and washing nozzles (19) are disposed above the manifold (13) at the level of the guide beams (4a, 4aâ€²).
