Food processing automation company and Duravant Food Sorting and Handling Group member, PPM Technologies, has introduced the third generation of its FlavorWright All-in-One seasoning system – a compact solution combining liquid and dry seasoning in a single unit for continuously coating snacks, confectioneries, cereals, vegetables, fruits, frozen foods and more.
The FlavorWright All-in-One is aimed at processors with small to medium production requirements, as well as for larger operations that need a flexible R&D or multi-line solution. The Gen 3 model features enhanced drum magnets, an optional stainless-steel drum and additional advancements that support operator safety, expand application flexibility and increase production capacity.
Duravant Group president – food sorting and handling solutions, Jack Lee, said the practical updates bring real value to customers.
“Many of the enhancements in the Gen 3 came directly from processors in the field who told us what would make their systems reliable, efficient and easy to operate,” said Lee.
This latest model introduces several new design features. A programmable light alarm beacon provides customisable visual alerts for system status, product levels and process conditions. Wiring routed through the frame supports safe operation and streamlines washdown. An extended Mini VF infeed conveyor with new side guards helps maintain product flow and reduces spillage, and new optional forklift mounts facilitate safe transport around the plant.
PPM also debuted several new features to the drum, including enhanced magnetic drum mounts that support high-capacity applications, especially when handling dense products like nuts. A new angle indicator helps operators quickly and consistently set the drum position. A bolt-on, stainless-steel drum option provides robust durability and accommodates customisable flight configurations for high-temperature products, frozen foods or operations requiring metal-detectable components in product contact zones.
Built for sanitation, the FlavorWright All-in-One offers IP65-rated washdown capability and food-grade materials throughout. Quick-release components on both the seasoning hopper and plastic drum enable changeover in as little as five minutes, depending on the application.
The FlavorWright All-in-One seasoning system is supported by PPM’s global service organisation, which provides installation assistance, preventive maintenance and responsive technical support. Remote commissioning capabilities enable PPM to provide setup, training and programming support via an internet connection, eliminating the need for on-site visits and reducing service costs.
