Bulk material coating method comprising: initiating a coating apparatus (1) 101 in accordance with an initiation procedure for an individual load of bulk material to be coated; A continuous flow of uncoated bulk material is introduced into the coating apparatus (1; 101) and coated with a predetermined stop coating weight increase (W%) at the outlet of the coating apparatus (1; 101). Operating the coating apparatus (1; 101) in a stop mode by acquiring a continuous flow of bulk material, wherein the coating apparatus (1; 101) is connected to the first inlet of the first container (2; 102); A first rotatable tubular container (2; 102) provided with a first dispensing device (5; 105) for dispensing the coating material on the bulk material (M) of the plurality of internal continuous adjacent spraying regions between the first outlets; A second dispensing device 9; 109 is provided for dispensing the coating material on the bulk material M of the plurality of internal continuous adjacent spraying regions between the first inlet and the second outlet of the second vessel 6, 106. A second rotatable tubular vessel (6; 106), the second rotatable tubular vessel (6; 106) arranged to receive the bulk material (M) exiting from the first vessel (2); Conveying means (11) arranged to convey bulk material (M) from said first container (2; 102) to said second container (6, 106); Continuously starting process: the load while maintaining the load inside the first vessel (2; 102) until a coated bulk material having the predetermined stop coating weight increase (W%) is obtained Dispensing the coating material on; The flow rate of the load of coated bulk material is transferred from the first vessel (2; 102) to the second vessel (6; 106) and the bulk material to be coated at the same flow rate is applied to the first vessel (2; 102). A transition phase to the stop mode for supplying; By sequentially activating the spraying region inside the first vessel (2; 102), the coating material is d
