Abstract: An apparatus to distribute discrete particles and, while distribution is occurring means to coat the particles, uniformly with a liquid. The apparatus provides feeding the particles to a rotating plate which rotates at a speed such as to distribute the particles and to cause them to move outwardly to the edge of the plate from which they fall and a liquid distributing means comprising an annular skirt coaxial with and below the plate, the skirt receiving liquid internally thereof and rotating at a speed sufficient to expell the liquid outwardly from its lower edge towards the particles falling from the plate thereby coating these articles.
