  • Modeling nonelectrostatic and electrostatic powder coating
    Journal of Food Engineering, 2007
    Co-Authors: Shantanu Yousuf, Sheryl A. Barringer
    Abstract:

    Abstract The effect of particle size, density, charge and air velocity on transfer efficiency, evenness and separation of mixtures during powder coating was investigated using modeling and experimentation. Electrostatic and nonelectrostatic coating was tested using 28, 234 and 342 μm NaCl and 195 μm starch powders. Transfer efficiency increased as particle size, density or charge increased or as air velocity decreased. Evenness increased as particle size or density decreased, as velocity increased, or as charge increased to a peak. Electrostatic coating produced higher transfer efficiency and evenness than nonelectrostatic coating. Improvement in transfer efficiency and evenness due to Electrostatics increased as NaCl size, density, charge or air velocity decreased. Powder mixtures did not separate by size during coating but did separate by density and charge. Starch was affected more by the collisions and charging than NaCl, which caused the separation.

  • Comparison of the effect of powder properties on coating transfer efficiency and dustiness in two non-electrostatic and electrostatic systems
    Innovative Food Science & Emerging Technologies, 2004
    Co-Authors: H.l Biehl, Sheryl A. Barringer
    Abstract:

    Abstract Particle size, density, cohesiveness and chargeability of powders were correlated to their electrostatic and non-electrostatic transfer efficiency and dustiness in gravity fed tumble drum and pneumatically fed conveyor belt coating systems. The effect of particle size on transfer efficiency was opposite in the two systems, while the other properties were similar. For non-electrostatic coating, smaller particles give more efficient coating in the gravity drum whereas in the pneumatic conveyor system larger particles coat better. Electrostatics improves the coating efficiency of small particles so that size is no longer important in the conveyor system, while small particles continue to be better in the tumble drum. The more free-flowing the powder, the greater the non-electrostatic and electrostatic coating transfer efficiency for both systems. Electrostatic coating transfer efficiency increases in both coating systems for powders that are readily chargeable. Density was typically not significant. The powders that were worst non-electrostatically showed the greatest percent improvement with Electrostatics. Small particles create more dust in both coating systems.

  • Electrostatic powder coating of shredded cheese with antimycotic and anticaking agents
    Innovative Food Science and Emerging Technologies, 2002
    Co-Authors: Shivakumar Elayedath, Sheryl A. Barringer
    Abstract:

    Abstract Shredded Cheddar and Mozzarella cheeses were powder coated electrostatically and non-electrostatically with a mixture of natamycin and powdered cellulose, using a tumble drum or belt conveyer. Natamycin content and shelf life of the cheese samples were determined. Dustiness during the coating process was measured in both laboratory and commercial settings. Electrostatic coating by the drum method resulted in an increase in natamycin transfer efficiency over non-electrostatic coating and over liquid coating. The shelf life of the cheese coated electrostatically in the drum was significantly longer than that of non-electrostatically coated and of liquid coated cheese. The drum method of coating was more effective than the belt method both electrostatically and non-electrostatically. Electrostatic coating decreased dustiness significantly over non-electrostatic coating. Using Electrostatics for coating shredded cheese will reduce waste and worker exposure to dust inhalation.
