Rice cakes are light on the waistline, but keeping the machines used to produce them clean can be quite a challenge. These delicate snacks tend to crumble easily, and any leftover grain residue on the equipment can lead to product damage, machine malfunctions, and ultimately, lost profits. Recently, a rice cake manufacturer approached us with concerns about sticky residues accumulating on their baking equipment, which was causing frequent interruptions in production for cleaning purposes.
To craft these round treats, manufacturers typically heat rice grains inside a steel pan while applying pressure with a cylinder until they expand and fill the mold. After forming, the cakes move along a conveyor belt where they’re sprayed with various seasonings and flavors. However, the intense heat and pressure during this cooking process often result in baked-on rice residue clinging stubbornly to critical components like pistons and sealing rings. This not only halts production but also increases the frequency of maintenance, eating into overall efficiency. The company had already tried multiple coatings from various suppliers, hoping to reduce adhesion and withstand high temperatures above 475°F, yet none met all their requirements.
Our solution came when we introduced our **Nedox® 10K3** coating to the customer's equipment. Unlike traditional coatings, this PFAS-free option combines exceptional mold-release capabilities with a high-temperature formulation that complies with both USDA and FDA standards. Such compliance makes it ideal for industries like food processing, where product remnants frequently stick to machinery. Additionally, Nedox excels in environments requiring rigorous cleaning protocols, streamlining maintenance routines and ensuring faster sanitation processes. Key attributes of the Nedox family include:
- Surface hardness up to Rc 68.
- Resistance to abrasion, scuffing, and seizing.
- Protection against chemicals, acids, and alkalis.
- Operating temperature range between -250°F and +950°F, depending on the formulation.
With the implementation of Nedox 10K3, the rice cake producer noticed a significant reduction in adhesion problems and a marked decrease in downtime associated with cleaning. When stubborn food residues threaten both product integrity and machine uptime, it's crucial to consult our team of experts to identify the optimal surface treatment tailored specifically for your equipment needs.
