摘要： A method of treating a perishable item with a coating is described. In one embodiment, the method includes identifying operational parameters associated with a drying tunnel, identifying a desired coating requirement, determining optimal drying tunnel parameters based on the operational parameters and the desired coating requirements, and operating the drying tunnel based on the optimal drying tunnel parameters.

摘要： Described herein are industrial application systems for treating (e.g., forming protective coatings on) produce, agricultural products, or other items. An exemplary application system can include a bed comprising a plurality of rollers, one or more sprayers over a first portion of the bed, one or more blowers over a second portion of the bed, a mixing system configured to prepare a mixture comprising a coating agent in a solvent, and a liquid delivery system connected inline between the mixing system and the one or more sprayers. Items placed on the bed can have the mixture applied to their surfaces via the one or more sprayers, after which the one or more blowers can at least partially remove the solvent from the surfaces of the perishable items, thereby causing the protective coatings to be formed over the perishable items.
