At this time, an automatic powdering device is needed. During the use of the automatic powdering device, since most automatic powdering devices transmit powders through a conveyor belt, the powders automatically fall on the cakes, which makes the powder content attached to some cakes uneven. The automatic powdering device cannot evenly and quantitatively sprinkle powder, which reduces the use efficiency of the powdering device. At the same time, some powders will adhere to the conveyor belt of the transmission device during the powdering process. The existing automatic powdering device cannot centrally recover the fallen powders.
[0003] In the patent document with the publication number CN217487440U, an automatic powder spreading device is disclosed, which uses a first motor to rotate the powder to spread the powder, making the powder more uniform, and at the same time uses a second motor to clean the conveyor belt to achieve the purpose of collecting the powder on the conveyor belt.
[0004] The above device needs to cooperate with multiple motors to realize powder sprinkling and powder collection when in use. The pastry processing equipment is large in size and the equipment cost is high.
