Food seasoning and packaging solutions provider, tna, has unveiled an automated continuous slurry mixing and application system for the snacking industry.
The tna intelli-flav CLS 3 closed-loop slurry seasoning system is designed for products that require slurry flavouring in a tumble drum and enhances the homogeneity of the slurry mix. The system’s spraying technology and control ensures consistency of application to the snacks. In addition, as the system is automated the need for dedicated labour is reduced.
Working from bags of seasoning powder and a pressurised supply of oil, the new system meters the ingredients to a specified recipe, mixes it using an under-surface mixing head within a double jacketed, heat-controlled heated tank, then applies the slurry to the products via spray guns. Spraying accuracy is controlled by a displacement pump, which measures the actual usage of slurry compared to required levels and adjusts automatically to ensure consistency of application.
David Woollard, seasoning group sales manager – tna, comments, “Our new tna intelli-flav CLS 3 delivers on seasoning performance and design simplicity for ease of use. Plus, as it can alter both liquid and dry powder proportions for specific recipe variations, it offers the flexibility and control that manufacturers need. For the best results, the new CLS system should be combined with our main line seasoning system, the tna intelli-flav MLS, to ensure snack products are delivered into the tumbling seasoning bed with minimum waste and product damage.”
