Saturn Spraying Systems Ltd are suppliers of specialist food processing machinery used primarily in the bakery, confectionary and snack food industries. Our products incorporate a patented spinning disc system for the application of liquid and granular product coatings to a wide range of processed foods. This technology has also been used in frozen meat and frozen fish processing industries, as well as food processing in general. Our designs are the culmination of over 25 years worth of research, development and
refinement. At our manufacturing facilities in Dorset, we have ten experienced engineers using the very latest CAD design systems to produce exceptional food processing equipment of an unparalleled quality, exactly to your specifications. To complement our excellent processing products, Saturn has also designed a number of product handling and conveyor systems, including oven loaders, de-panners, transfer mechanisms, flat belt conveyors, slatband conveyors, wire belt conveyors, polycord conveyors and elevator conveyors.
Every product we design is unique and built purposely for your application. We pride ourselves on our ability to interpret your needs and deliver first class bespoke equipment. So if you're looking to upgrade your food processing plant with exceptionally engineered machinery, you're in the right place. Just give us a call to discuss your requirements.

Bakery products
Our spinning disc machines are used for a variety of coating applications in the bakery industry. Whether you're applying simple water based ambient glazes or more complex compound glazes, our versatile technologies can handle it. Typical examples include applying egg glaze to rolls, croissants, brioches, pies, pasties, or sugar glaze to buns. Heated fats and compounds can also be applied to foodstuffs such as pastry shells, cakes, pizzas, and meringues for protection from moisture. Our sprinkler machines are also used in the bakery industry for applying granular products such as sugars, seeds, nuts, breadcrumbs and herbs.

Meat and Fish Products
Thanks to the even application and open pipe-work system of spinning disc technology, frozen meat, poultry and fish can be quickly and accurately coated with sauces and marinades which may be ambient or heated. Our sprinkler units are also used in frozen meat processing for the application of granular products such as cracked peppercorns, breadcrumbs and dried herbs.

Biscuits and Snack Products
Spinning disc technology is used extensively in biscuit and snack food processing. Our machines are perfect for the application of glazes and flavourings which can be applied using either ambient or heated liquids, or alternatively, in the form of slurry with up to 35% particulates. Saturn's sprinkler units are also used in snack food processing. They are ideal for covering foodstuffs with granular products such as salt or sugar.

Health Foods
Saturn Spraying Systems was asked by a major food ingredients company to come up with a healthy alternative to conventional 'flash frying' processes. Flash frying involves dusting food products such as chicken portions, frozen fish, steaks and vegetables with flour, dipping them in batter and/or breadcrumbs, and then passing them through a deep fat fryer. There are numerous disadvantages to this process, including the cost of heating and oil and the cleaning needed to maintain fryers to a hygienic level. The solution we came up with was to use our spinning disc spray machines to coat the food product with an 'all over' coverage of light, fine oil. It is then passed through a travelling band oven or a rack/deck oven for a healthier finished product. This process is now used by major food processers who supply the major supermarkets.

Spraying
Saturn Spraying Systems offers three different kinds of spraying technologies for a variety of applications. Our Portadisc range of sprayers have been designed for the application of liquid coatings, from simple water based or egg type glazes, to oils and release agents. Designed primarily for the bakery and confectionary industries, these units can be mounted onto an existing conveyor or are available as self-contained portable units mounted on a cantilever stand. Our Discmaster range of spraying machinery is used in the bakery, confectionary and meat industries for the application of liquid coatings, including heated oils and fats, as well aswater based and egg type glazes. These versatile Discmaster units offer simple, top-only covering, right through to total product coverage.
Lastly, our Discmatic range of machinery provides the all-encompassing solution for coating products with glazes, fats, oils and flavouring slurries.

Sprinklers
Sprinklers are used extensively in the food processing industry for covering foodstuffs with granular products such as dried herbs, breadcrumbs, seeds, nuts, sugars and salt. Our sprinklers are designed with a product hopper mounted above an independently driven variable speed roller. Every roller features longitudinal slots machined according to the size of the granules. These rollers are designed to be quickly and simply changed.

Greasing
Saturn have designed innovative low pressure, air operated gun machines for spraying greases, oils and release agents into a variety of shapes and sizes of bakery tins and trays. We have also developed a 're-circulating' version for heated products, as well as a 'depositing' version suitable for when very small quantities of product need to be deposited. Two systems are available; Gunmatic, a fixed gun, and Rotomatic, a rotating gun with PLC control for consistent, repeatable application. Both systems can also be used for the application of coatings on food products.

Product Handling
To complement our great range of spraying, sprinkling and greasing machines, we have developed numerous product handling and conveyor systems. These can be designed to your exact specifications, which is particularly useful in situations where space is at a premium. Our product handling equipment includes oven loaders, de-panners, elevator conveyors, flat belt conveyors, slatband conveyors, polycord conveyors, wire belt conveyors, combining/diverging units, and other transfer mechanisms.
