Flo-Mech introduces Flo-Flavour Plus Flavour application system focused on low fat snacks

Flo-Mech announces the latest development in the proven Flo-Flavour™ range of snack seasoning systems.  The latest Flo-Flavour™ Plus system uses separate oil and flavour applications as opposed to the traditional oil/flavour slurry system usually associated with the Flo-Flavour™ system.

Oil and Flavour systems are commonly used on lower fat products where the base product does not have sufficient oil content to allow a powder application to adhere to its surface and where a slurry application would detriment the low-fat principle of the finished product.

The Flo-Flavour™ Plus system uses an oil application system with an air atomising nozzle to allow low volumes of oil to be applied but with excellent dispersion.  The oil mist is applied at the front end of the multi-flighted tumbling drum.

The rate of the product is monitored via an ultrasonic bed depth sensor which, via the plc based controller, maintains strict proportional control of the oil and flavour application.

The combination of the elements ensures a consistently flavoured product with the correct application of oil and flavouring.  Making sure what’s in the bag is what it says on the bag!
