Heat and Control invites all PotatoPro readers to stop by at SNAXPO booth 827 to discuss any details of their equipment.


Proportional distribution where you need it.

Mount the new Fastback Revolution Mid-Gate^TM at the beginning, middle or end of the FastBack conveyor pan to eliminate product transfer pinch-points and get the advantages of proportional distribution where you need them: Zero cross-contamination, reduced product breakage, easy cleaning, and safe, responsive full-open to full-closed speeds for all throughputs.
 

FastBack FDX^TM for conveyor runs to 100 feet.

40% smaller than comparable inertia drive horizontal motion conveyors, Fastback FDX handles runs up to 100 feet long and up to 300 cubic feet of product accumulation. Like other FastBack conveyors, FDX reduces product damage, prevents separation of blends, is easy to clean, quiet, and needs no preventive maintenance.
 

WeighBack^TM beats weigh belts.

FastBack WeighBack is the cleaner, more accurate alternative to troublesome weigh belts. This continuous weighing conveyor features a removable weigh tray for easy cleaning and access to its load cells. User-friendly controls provide manual and auto-tare functions with clear displays of instantaneous and cumulative operating data.
 

Sub-micron oil filtration without paper.

Without filter paper, additives, or consumables, Micron-Pro filters cooking oil to the sub-micron level at rates up to 65 gallons/minute. It can recover up to 98% of the oil from filtered debris and pay for itself within a year, depending on the application.

500 lb/hr potato chip batch fryer

Consumers can’t seem to get enough kettle-style potato chips. Heat and Control's MasterTherm Kettle Fryer will help you meet that demand by producing over 500 finished lbs/hr. New features protect oil quality, reduce cleaning costs, and deliver consistent quality.
 

Continuously fry kettle-style potato chips.

Heat and Control's Universal Product Cooker^TM (UPC) fries any type of kettle-style potato chip continuously, rather than in batches. UPC also makes traditional potato chips with little or no slice washing, plus chips from plantains, multi-grain, and other ingredients, as well as selected pellet and extruded snacks.
 

Improve seasoning coverage with AccuCoat^TM drum.

Even during variations in throughput, Heat and Control's new AccuCoat dual geometry seasoning drum decreases standard deviation of chip-to-chip dwell time by over 30%.

This patent pending design improves seasoning coverage, adhesion, and application rates, and is available only with our Revolution On-Machine Seasoning system.
 

Modular Dust Collection^TM clears the air.

Heat and Control's Modular Dust Collection^TM(MDC) eliminate the problems of airborne seasoning dust by capturing it at the point of application. Available only on FastBack Revolution On-Machine Seasoning systems, MDC costs about 40% less than whole-room systems and can reduce energy usage by up to 30%.
 

Wet ‘n Dry seasoning applicator

Spray Dynamics’ Wet ‘n Dry seasoning applicator combines continuously weighed product delivery with application of liquid and dry seasonings in one versatile unit. Choose options to suit your fried, baked, and extruded products, including the new POD seasoning transfer module.
  Safe powder transfer with POD.

Automatically transfer dry seasonings, granules, and powders without hazardous lifting using Heat and Control's new high-capacity Powder On Demand (POD).

Eliminates the need for expensive high maintenance auger or vacuum systems.

Powder On Demand (POD) runs unattended, reducing labor costs and allowing longer equipment operating times.


Apply reduced fat coatings

Reduce fat content by uniformly applying water-based seasonings and coatings with Spray Dynamics’ Side Vented Coating System. This space-saving design combines powder and liquid application, gentle tumbling, continuous dust collection, and heated drying.
