Abstract: An apparatus for coating food frying pieces with grains powder includes a buttering conveyor of the string type carrying the food pieces through a steamer and under a batter nozzle that coats them before they drop off the end of the buttering conveyor onto a covering conveyor. The covering conveyor includes rotating urgers. A sieving conveyor, also of the string type, receives the pieces and conveys them to a next-stage output conveyor. A grains powder supply conveyor coupled to the stem portion of the covering conveyor and a grains powder recovery coveyor extend between the covering conveyor and the sieving conveyor.
