Heat and Control has launched a slurry coating application for snack foods through Spray Dynamics.
The Slurry On Demand Continuous Mixer allows for coating application with minimal downtime for ingredient mixing or flavour changeover.
As a result, according to Heat and Control, snack companies can apply a recipe-driven workflow that includes faster changeover of recipes by just flushing with oil and changing the dry ingredient and start-up.
The system offers integrated pre-mixing of the slurry recipe before the snack product is introduced, and the slurry recipe can be adjusted by changing oil and dry ingredient ratios during the pre-mixing phase.
In some instances, the system achieves a changeover ratio of under 30 seconds, and because the slurry is prepared at optimum time before the snack food is on its way, there is less waste of ingredients in the case of an emergency downtime situation.
Spray Dynamics builds applicators for oils, seasonings, vitamins, tack and release agents, chocolate, syrups and candy coatings, antioxidants, polishing wax, and anti-clumping agents.
