PROCESSING TECH UPDATE
Seasoning (OMS) system as part of the Ishida weighing operation. “This provides more uniform seasoning coverage of products using less seasoning and reducing product breakage; the solution also utilises less floor space,” Marguccio says.
The OMS system combines advanced seasoning technology into one compact, low-cost, standalone unit designed to overcome every challenge of seasoning at the weigher.
According to HCI Snack Solutions, it features the superior seasoning performance of the patented dynamic AccuFlavor Tumble Drum, the efficiency of the Modular Dust Collection System, and the advanced FastBack Model 260E into one compact, cost-efficient, standalone unit designed to overcome seasoning challenges at the weigher.
“With integrated seasoning control, the FastBack Revolution OMS System’s patented integrated conveying and tumbling reduces variability of coverage, reduces space, and simplifies operation,” Marguccio explains.

PROCESSING EFFICIENCY
The Spray Dynamics Slurry-On- Demand Continuous Mixer is a recipe driven, fully automated, tankless continuous mixer which creates accurate, homogeneous slurries in optimal quantities.
“This mixer eliminates the inherent flaws of standard mix and use tank systems,” says Marguccio.
“It automatically and accurately mixes seasoning and liquids into homogeneous, lump-free slurries in the desired quantity demanded downstream, significantly reducing wasted ingredients and operator start-up and cleaning time.”
