INTERPACK PREVIEW
Gathering of the great
A number of Australian companies will be present at Interpack, exhibiting in their own right or on a global partner’s stand. PKN rounds up stand highlights.
its innovative on-machine seasoning (OMS) system, which it says is proven to provide efficient and uniform cover- age, and can apply different seasonings at each packaging station without cross contamination.
Also on display is the FastBack Revolution Seasoning System (RSS). This on-machine seasoning system incorporates several new technologies in a complete system approach. It is able to produce consistent seasoning coverage with little seasoning waste – allowing processors to produce consis- tent product – “every item, every time”.
These issues have driven an evolution in food processing technology, and we can’t wait to share our latest developments.

The RSS provides superior season- ing performance using a combination of the patented dynamic AccuFlavor Tumble Drum, the efficiency of the Modular Dust Collection System, and the advanced FastBack 260E- G3 into one compact, cost-efficient, standalone unit designed to over- come seasoning challenges at the weigher. Ideal applications for this system include potato chips, snack foods, crackers, tortilla chips, nuts and trail mix.
The company will also show its FastBack Lift and Tip – feeding into the Ishida multihead weigher and Inspira snack bagmaker.

AS A LEADING supplier of processing and packaging equipment to the global food industry, Heat and Control says it is excited to return to the world’s biggest industry trade fair after six long years of forced absence prolonged by the pandemic.
Heat and Control sales and marketing manager Greg Pyne says the company is ready to showcase its latest and most cutting-edge solutions for the food industry, and expects greater produc- tion efficiency, resource management and sustainability to be key talking points at this year’s show.
“Interpack represents packaging and process industry’s biggest international overview of the market and there’s no denying our industry is in a state of transformation,” says Pyne.
“As global demand for packaged snacks and frozen foods continues to rise, processors are being chal- lenged with the rising costs of energy, resources and raw materials.
“These issues have driven an evo- lution in food processing technology, and we can’t wait to share our latest developments.”
New technology from industry favou- rite FastBack will be on display at the
show and, says Heat and Control, this new solution is set to transform the hor- izontal motion conveying market – all over again.
FastBack 4.0 is a circular to linear drive horizontal motion conveyor. A key feature is its new drive mechanism – which uses rotational (circular) drive motion to produce a horizontal (linear) motion. The breakthrough design uses circular-to-linear drive efficiency – to convert rotational motion into pure hor- izontal motion – while also supporting the vertical weight of the pan.
