De Buyer Sweet Maker Coating System 400mm

The De Buyer Sweet Maker Coating System is a stainless steel rotating drum attachment designed to sugar-coat dried fruits, nuts, and similar confectionery items. It mounts onto a compatible stand mixer and uses the machine's drive to tumble the product continuously, allowing sugar syrups or coatings to build up evenly across each piece without manual stirring or specialist confectionery panning equipment.

In practice, the drum allows operators to produce batches of coated sweets and candies in a controlled, repeatable way. The tumbling action distributes coating evenly across the product surface, reducing waste and inconsistency compared to hand-coating methods. At 400mm in diameter and weighing 4.2kg, it is robust enough for regular production use without being unwieldy to handle between sessions.

Practical operational benefits include:

• Consistent coating coverage across each batch without manual intervention
• Batch output of up to 6–8kg in approximately 30 minutes, supporting small-scale production runs
• Stainless steel construction that is straightforward to clean down between batches
• A compact footprint that requires only the space of the host stand mixer
• Reusability across a wide range of confectionery products including nuts, dried fruits, and similar items

This attachment is compatible with a specific range of stand mixers, including KitchenAid K5 Super Plus, KitchenAid Artisan Pro, Dito Sama BE5 A, and Dito Sama 3500. It is not a universal fit — confirming compatibility with your existing machine before ordering is important. The stand mixer itself is sold separately.

The coating system is well suited to patisserie kitchens, chocolatiers, artisan confectioners, and hotel or restaurant operations producing house-made confectionery in moderate volumes. Operations with higher continuous production requirements may find a purpose-built panning machine a more practical solution at scale.

If you are unsure whether this attachment suits your existing equipment or production volumes, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
