The batter coating can be applied via bath, waterfall or spray and cover one side or the complete piece. The products being coated include chunks of raw or pre-processed food items like poultry, meat, sea food and vegetables, as well as extruded or molded food items. ‘Battering’ or ‘coating’ may be done to give the product certain additional properties, such as ‘bite’ (crispness), color or taste. Many processed foods are coated with starch-based batters to enhance flavor and add texture-and contribute to the identity and appeal of the particular product. Depending on the type of food product, the processing objectives and challenges may be different but one thing is certain-food companies strive to meet their requirements of consistent quality and freshness by developing innovative products, while lowering production costs and easing maintenance. When used as coating, the batter is typically applied by dipping, or spraying onto continuous baking drums and oven bands. The Bostwick Consistometer trough is graduated in 0.5cm divisions to permit accurate measurement of flow.Batter is widely used as a coating for deep-fried foods as well as many other products such as cakes, waffles, biscuits, and pancakes. The gate is spring operated and held by a positive release mechanism, permitting instantaneous flow of sample. The unit is constructed of stainless steel and is equipped with two levelling screws and a level.
Standard 24cm Bostwick Consistometer has 48 x 0.5cm graduationsĮxtra Long 30cm Bostwick Consistometer has 60 x 0.5cm graduations. The Bostwick Consistometer is used extensively in the food industry for measuring the consistency, flow rate and viscosity of jams, jellies and other highly viscous products such as tomato paste, tomato ketchup, tomato puree, fruit puree, yoghurt, condensed soup, mayo, chilli sauce, mustard, cheese sauce, batters, cake mixes,gravies, sauces, baby foods, salad dressings, frostings, fillings, chilled food and ready meals etc The Bostwick Consistometer is a simple, dependable instrument which determines the consistency of various materials by measuring the distance which a sample flows under its own weight.
