For over 70 years across food industries and applications, Heat and Control’s specialised equipment solutions have set the standard for yield, efficiency and safety, and its latest innovations will be on show at this year’s AUSPACK event.

The company offers complete food processing equipment, product handling, and packaging and inspection lines that feature integration from start to finish, ensuring full line efficiency and performance.

“Whether you measure success by flavour, efficiencies, improvement or innovation, count on us to deliver results. Whatever your product needs, we can meet it with precision and passion,” the company said.

Having a metal detector allows a snack food processor to easily comply with global safety standards, and Heat and Control said choosing the right metal detector is an important choice and should be based on the type of snack food being run.

“While metal detection in food processing is primarily about quality control and consumer protection, it also protects other machinery in the production line because even the smallest metal particle can lead to machinery malfunction, resulting in revenue decrease thanks to production downtime,” Heat and Control said.

Its solution, the CEIA THS/MS21, is a multi-spectrum metal detector that has a unique detection capability and extreme sensitivity of magnetic, non-magnetic and stainless-steel metal contaminants, and comes in a USDA-approved design.

The machine is suitable for all manner of snack food products, it can detect foreign objects, it operates simply and efficiently at high speeds, and also collects and retains important production run data.

Heat and Control will also have its DiversaCut 2110A Dicer on show, which dices, strips, slices, granulates and shreds at high production capacities.

It is available in three models and offers cost-savings by limiting the need for pre-cutting of products. All models feature high-capacity production capabilities and continuous operation for uninterrupted production.

Also, the compact cutting zone, completely separate from the mechanical zone, establishes precision cuts as the product moves throughout the process.

Heat and Control will be exhibiting at AUSPACK 2022 on Stand D150.
