syrup sticking in coating tumblers
(OP)
I would like to know if there are available materials that are resistent to sugar syrups, i.e., sticking on the sides. you see in our syrup application process for breakfast cereals, our coating tumblers always go on shutdown every 8 hrs for cleaning. total solids of the syrup is 75%, and is composed of about 55% sucrose. thanks

I had a client in the bakery world who had a pain in the butt powder component , that very hygroscopic powder became liquid as soon as the surrounding air contained some humidity , with bridging and clogging of that vessel in summer as a result.
The vessel had a capacity of 15 liters , I had it coated with a green looking PTFE teflon , it retarded significantly the start of the clogging process.

But for a test , this kitchen teflon could be worth a trial , before getting the wallet out for more appropriate trials.

We've got a PVD coating that we apply to medical devices that is pretty inert. I don't think your syrup will stick to it. At least, we've not found anything that will stick to it.
