Coating mochi, daifuku, and other sticky rice confections by hand is messy, inconsistent, and labor-intensive. Uneven coating leads to product waste, customer complaints, and slow production lines.
The HM-GF Automatic Coating Machine solves this problem. Designed for commercial production of mochi, daifuku, and similar products, this machine delivers uniform coating of coconut shreds, sesame seeds, sugar powder, cooked flour, soybean powder, and other ingredients at speeds up to 12,000 pieces per hour.
The HM-GF is an automatic coating machine designed specifically for sticky rice confections. It applies a uniform layer of dry coating materials to mochi, daifuku, and other soft, delicate products. The modular design includes coating, conveying, screening, blowing, and powder recovery systems that can be configured based on product requirements.
Key specifications:
Model: HM-GF
Capacity: 12,000 pieces per hour
Power: 0.5 kW
Dimensions: 1300 × 850 × 900 mm
Weight: 80 kg
Food safety is non-negotiable in confectionery production. The HM-GF is built entirely with food-grade 304 stainless steel, providing:
Superior hygiene – Easy to clean and sanitize
Corrosion resistance – Withstands frequent washing
Durability – Built for long-term commercial use
Regulatory compliance – Meets international food safety standards
This construction ensures that every product contact surface is safe, clean, and durable.
The HM-GF features a modular system design that includes five functional components:
Component | Function |
|---|---|
Coating system | Applies dry coating materials evenly |
Conveying system | Moves products through the machine |
Screening system | Removes excess coating for even coverage |
Blowing system | Removes loose powder from finished products |
Powder recovery system | Collects and recycles unused coating materials |
Each module can be combined or configured based on product requirements. This flexibility allows the same machine to handle different products with different coating characteristics.
Different products require different coating speeds. A delicate mochi needs gentle handling. A larger daifuku needs more time for even coverage.
The HM-GF features a variable frequency drive for the conveying system and stepless speed control for the rotating disc. This combination provides:
Stable operation – Consistent performance across production runs
Efficient processing – Optimized speed for each product type
Easy adjustment – Fine-tune settings without stopping production
Smooth product handling – Gentle enough for delicate rice confections
Mochi and daifuku present unique coating challenges. They are soft, sticky, and easily damaged. Traditional coating methods often result in uneven coverage, product damage, or excessive coating waste.
The HM-GF is specifically designed for these delicate products:
Gentle handling – Minimizes deformation of soft rice confections
Even coverage – Uniform coating application without bare spots
Stick prevention – Proper coating prevents products from sticking together
High capacity – 12,000 pieces per hour for commercial production
Uniform coverage – Every piece receives the same amount of coating, with no bare spots or clumps.
Higher output – Coat 12,000 pieces per hour, far exceeding manual methods.
Less waste – Powder recovery system collects and recycles unused coating materials.
Lower labor costs – One operator can run the machine, replacing multiple workers.
Product protection – Gentle handling prevents damage to soft mochi and daifuku.
Easy cleaning – 304 stainless steel construction allows quick, thorough sanitation.
Production flexibility – Modular design adapts to different products and coatings.
The HM-GF works across a variety of rice confection products:
Product | Typical Coating |
|---|---|
Plain mochi | Cooked flour or potato starch to prevent sticking |
Coconut mochi | Shredded coconut |
Sesame daifuku | Black or white sesame seeds |
Kinako mochi | Roasted soybean flour |
Matcha mochi | Matcha powder mixed with sugar |
Ice cream mochi | Rice flour or potato starch |
Fruit daifuku | Light dusting of cooked flour |
One of the most valuable features of the HM-GF is its powder recovery system. Excess coating material that falls off during processing is collected and returned to the system for reuse.
Benefits of powder recovery:
Reduces coating material waste
Lowers ingredient costs
Minimizes cleanup time
Improves overall production efficiency
The HM-GF is designed to work seamlessly with upstream and downstream equipment:
Depositing machines – Receives freshly formed mochi or daifuku
Cooling conveyors – Positioned after cooling, before packaging
Packaging lines – Coated products move directly to packing stations
The machine's compact footprint (1300×850×900 mm) and light weight (80 kg) make it easy to integrate into existing production layouts.
Coating mochi and daifuku by hand is slow, messy, and inconsistent. It wastes skilled labor on repetitive tasks and leads to uneven product quality.
The HM-GF Automatic Coating Machine delivers 12,000 uniformly coated pieces per hour. With food-grade 304 stainless steel construction, modular system design, variable frequency drive, and powder recovery, this machine is built for commercial rice confection production.
Whether you produce traditional mochi, filled daifuku, or ice cream mochi, the HM-GF helps you scale production while improving coating consistency and reducing waste.
