Rice cakes are a popular snack, but they can be a nightmare when it comes to equipment maintenance. These delicate treats tend to break apart easily, leaving behind stubborn residue on machinery. This buildup not only damages the product but also leads to frequent machine downtime and costly production delays. A leading rice cake manufacturer recently reached out to us in search of a long-term solution to reduce cleaning frequency and improve efficiency.
The process of making rice cakes involves heating and pressing rice grains under high pressure until they expand and form a disc shape. This is typically done in a steel pan with a cylinder that applies pressure, causing the grains to "pop" into the mold. Once formed, the cakes are moved onto a conveyor where seasonings are applied. However, the extreme heat and pressure involved often cause burnt rice to stick to critical parts like pistons and rings, forcing the company to stop production for cleaning.
The manufacturer knew that a durable coating could solve this problem, but finding the right one was challenging. Many coatings couldn’t withstand temperatures above 475°F, which is common in their production line. After testing several options from different suppliers, they still hadn’t found a reliable solution—until they tried our Nedox® 10K3 surface treatment.
Nedox 10K3 is a PFAS-free coating designed for high-temperature environments. It offers excellent release properties while maintaining compliance with USDA and FDA standards, making it ideal for food processing applications. The coating is also highly resistant to wear, chemicals, acids, and alkalis, and can operate at temperatures ranging from -250°F to over 950°F, depending on the formulation.
Since implementing Nedox 10K3, the manufacturer has seen a significant reduction in sticking issues and cleaning time. Production flow has improved, and product quality remains consistent. If you're facing similar challenges with food residue or equipment performance, we recommend discussing your specific needs with our team of experts to find the best surface treatment for your application.
