Specialised solutions
Coatings, Batters & Breadings
Customer specific coating, batter and breading systems developed around substrate, adhesion, texture, flavour, cooking process, hold performance and manufacturing conditions.
Many adhesion and texture issues are influenced by process conditions as well as coating formulation. We investigate both.
What we develop around
The coating is one variable in a larger system.
Adhesion and pickup
Substrate moisture, pre-dust behaviour, bind through the process and repeatable pickup across the line.
Texture and crispness
Structure at serve and structure after hold, judged in the finished application rather than straight from the fryer.
Colour and flavour
Colour development through fry, oven or reheat without over-browning, with seasoning carried in the coating and the substrate together.
Commercial relevance
The system has to hold up on the line and after cooking.
Line compatibility
Developed for the equipment, line speed and batter handling actually in use.
Consistency
Designed to improve batch-to-batch consistency and reduce operator dependency.
Batter control and waste
Viscosity control and pickup stability considered alongside give-away and rework.
Finished eating experience
Performance assessed where it matters: in the cooked product the customer sells.
How it fits
Developed around the line you already operate.
The coating system is developed around the customer's substrate, equipment and production process. Knoxx Innovations provides the formulation and technical specification. The manufacturer retains its own coating, cooking and finished-product production.
Customer specific
Developed for one manufacturer, not sold from a catalogue.
Each coating system is developed against the customer's own substrate, application and commercial objective.
The customer specific solution is protected for the customer's agreed application. Knoxx Innovations retains its underlying methods, technology and technical know-how.
Customer development example
One coating brief. Ten tailored coating solutions.
A customer specific development project produced ten distinct coating directions, each developed around the required sensory and application performance. Customer identity and formulations remain confidential.
