Abstract
A system for coating particulate material with temperature-sensitive materials is provided with heated containers, each having a continuous loop of supply and return lines. Each continuous loop is coupled with a spray manifold that is positioned closely adjacent a mixing vessel. The temperature-sensitive fluid is pumped through the continuous loops to maintain the desired temperature when the fluid is not being applied to the particulate material within the vessel. The separate loops prevent undesired cross-contamination. A simple scale assembly is used for metering out the fluid.
