"As your products are so valuable, we put all

our expertise into coating them."
IDA-X: Perforated drum sugar
IDA-X are specially designed to sugar coat or sugarless coat, heat sensitive and brittle products such
as chewy centres, liquorice, chewing gum as well as other more stable centers such as chocolate
lentils, peanuts, almonds, etc.

Large production coating unit IDA-X ensures a very high quality finished product thanks to the
careful selection of logical technology and especially the low product bed depth. This feature of the
cylinder makes sure that sensitive centres are maintained in a perfect shape without deformation
and also results in very efficient drying.

IDA-X are also high performance units in speed of coating. Air flow going through the dragees mass
allied to the geometry of the perforated drum makes sure that an exceptionally large surface area
is exposed to the ventilated air, causing the dragees to thoroughly dry very quickly.

IDA units cover all operation for coating such as:
• panning with chocolate or compound, with or without powder addition
• hard sugar coating
• soft panning
• glazing of vermicelli, chocolate or sugar bits
• chocolate varnishing

By the careful selection of logic technology and low depth of the product bed, the IDA units ensure
the sensitive centres are maintained in a perfect shape without deformation. (same as IDA-X)

The cylindrical elongated shape of the drum along with the appropriate angle of the mixing baffles,
offer a very large area exchange for drying or cooling air and the homogeneous spread of the
coating solution.

From modular design, together with any type of

syrup cooker, it can accept one or several vessels

using either cold or hot syrup with various

possibilities of dosing and mixing materials (gum

solution, gelatine, starch, colour agent, flavour, etc.).

The unit can be programmed and controlled from

IDA prog. (Dumoulin’s PLC system).

Syrup and dosing and preparation system

High accuracy and reliability are given to our system.

• rotating pump associated to an electronic volumetric flow meter

• airless spraying bar with automatic system allowing nozzles to be

self cleaned during coating process

Furthermore the execution of the syrup spraying section is

removable to the outside of the pan on a receiving wheeled or

steady trolley.

Chocolate spraying system

The system comprises a storage tank, a pressure

pump device with optional mass flow meter to

control the delivered quantity of chocolate. The

distribution uses air spray guns with automatic

self cleaning and heated by hot water circulation.

Automation
DUMOULIN provides a range of proven automation solutions for effective and efficient
control of the coating process.

IDA PROG 3
An automatic process with semi automatic ancillary control.
The coating cycle is run in automatic with recipes being entered using a small tactile
display. Loading, unloading and washing operations are controlled in manual mode,
although timers and hard wired logic may be used to add some level of automation.

IDA PROG 4 Supervision with PLC IDA Prog.4

A fully automated system.
The loading, coating, unloading and washing operations may be run in automatic or manual using an operator terminal
which is mounted close to the machine. The colour graphic operator interface enables to operator to easily develop and
construct recipes and view the installation status via the overview screens. The control system may be networked to other
machines in the production line or supervision systems.

IDA PRO 5
Supervision and data acquisition.
The supervisor is a desktop or industrial PC running and standard supervision software package. Date is recorded on a batch
basis and presented in a tabular form along with historical trends and fault reports. The supervisor also includes a recipe
builder which can be used to create and download recipes to the IDA Prog. 4 coaters. real time values and trends are
displayed for each IDA enabling a single operator to oversee several IDA Prog. 4 coaters from a central control room.
