Going Against the Grain: Nedox® PFAS-Free Coating Prevents Rice Cake Buildup at High Temperatures
Rice cakes may be gentle on the waistline, but keeping the machinery used to produce them clean is far from simple. Given their fragile nature, any grain residue left on the equipment can lead to product defects, unexpected machine halts, and, eventually, financial losses. Recently, a rice cake producer reached out to us seeking a solution to their sticky residue challenges and aiming to cut down on cleaning time.
To craft these round snacks, manufacturers heat and pressurize rice grains within a steel pan until they expand and fit into molds. Afterward, the cakes are sent along a conveyor belt to be seasoned. The intense heat and pressure involved in this process cause cooked rice to adhere to the pistons and rings of the baking equipment, leading to frequent interruptions for maintenance. While the company understood that applying a coating could alleviate this problem, most options failed under temperatures exceeding 475°F. Despite trying numerous coatings from various suppliers, they couldn't find one that offered both the necessary release properties and heat endurance.
The challenge was finally resolved when we introduced our **Nedox® 10K3** surface treatment to their equipment. This PFAS-free coating combines exceptional mold-release capabilities with a high-temperature, USDA- and FDA-compliant formulation. These certifications make Nedox coatings ideal for food and pharmaceutical applications where residues tend to cling to machinery. Additionally, Nedox excels in environments requiring frequent cleaning, making maintenance faster and more efficient. Key attributes of Nedox include:
- Surface hardness up to Rc 68
- Protection against abrasive wear and galling
- Resistance to chemicals, acids, and alkalis
- Operating temperatures ranging from -250 to +950°F, depending on the composition
Since implementing Nedox 10K3, the manufacturer has experienced no sticking problems and significantly reduced downtime for cleaning. When stubborn food residues threaten product quality and machine reliability, it's essential to consult with our experts to identify the best surface treatment for your specific needs.
