Abstract
An automatic breading machine for coating food stuffs with flour, or other dry coating materials which includes an elongate hopper mounted for rotation about its longitudinal axis and having agitator blades for thoroughly moving the food objects within the flour to completely coat the objects. The food objects are ejected from the hopper onto a screen which permits excess dry coating material to drop therethrough. The dry coating material supply normally moves out of the hopper through ports at one end of the hopper and through a screen sifter which separates dough balls from the flour to prevent the dough balls from returning to the system or from being delivered with the food stuffs. The flour passing out of the cylinder is collected in a hopper and conveyed to the intake chute of the hopper for reuse. A pair of flour collecting hoppers and a pair of conveyors are used so as to provide the automatic breading machine with selectivity of flour.
