Manual masala coating creates flavor inconsistency that customers notice immediately. One handful of namkeen tastes over-spiced while the next tastes bland—the result of hand-mixing in tubs where some pieces get heavy coating while others barely touch the masala. Snack producers mixing 50-100 kg batches manually lose 12-18% of expensive seasoning to floor spills, tub residue, and uneven distribution. Quality control becomes impossible when every batch varies despite using identical recipes. Masala coating pans and mixing machines eliminate this variation completely. Rotating drums tumble products with controlled masala addition, delivering 95-98% coating uniformity across every piece in 3-5 minutes per batch.

Introduction Namkeen masala mixers run 6-8 hours daily in most snack plants, yet 70% of operators skip cleaning until sticky buildup forces a shutdown. The pattern repeats: masala cakes onto drum surfaces, blending becomes uneven, product breaks during tumbling, and seasoning waste jumps from 3% to 12-15%. What started as a skipped 10-minute cleaning becomes a 4-hour scraping session with production halted. Structured maintenance cuts seasoning waste by half while extending mixer life from 4-5 years to 8-10 years. The uncomfortable reality: most mixer “failures” trace to neglect, not design flaws. Loose bolts create vibration that cracks welds. Dry bearings
