Seasoning Systems

Flavour Drum

Flavour- one crucial aspect of the complex world of snack food production. It's no secret that the seasoning process is key to creating products that tantalise taste buds. From potato chips to extruded snacks and tortilla chips, the KMG seasoning flavour drums are engineered with a singular focus: to elevate product quality and consistency through precise seasoning.

Features

  • 750mm – 2,000mm diameter range (based on throughput and bulk density).

KMG seasoning drums represent the epitome of customisation in the food processing industry. Thoroughly tailored and meticulously designed, taking into account crucial parameters like throughput, bulk density, and the necessity for gentle product handling, these drums embody precision and consistency in seasoning. Far from being one-size-fits-all solutions, they are tailored to ensure that each product receives the exact flavour treatment it demands. Positioned strategically in the production line, these drums can be found just after the initial processing phase at ground level (kitchen seasoning) or grace the mezzanine level just before the weigher and bagger (Machine Seasoning).

  • Diverse Diameter Range: KMG’s seasoning flavour drums come in a 750mm to 2,000mm diameter range, allowing flexibility based on throughput and bulk density. This adaptability ensures that the drums cater to a variety of products, no matter their unique requirements.
  • Custom Flight Design: The flight design within the drums is not a one-size-fits-all solution. It’s tailored to the specific product type, handling, and the need for consistent seasoning. This customisation ensures that the seasoning process is as precise as it is efficient.
  • Wet and Dry Application: The seasoning drums are available in two types – individual drums for both wet and dry applications or a single combined drum for both. This choice empowers snack food manufacturers to select the most suitable option for their unique processes.
  • Portability and Cleanability: The drums can be either portable or fixed, with the pivoting option for easy cleaning. The clean-in-place (CIP) feature simplifies maintenance and hygiene, ensuring the drums meet the stringent cleanliness requirements of the food industry.
  • Optional Drum Covers: For added flexibility and control over the seasoning process, optional drum covers are available. These covers are designed to provide another layer of precision and customisation.
  • Versatility Beyond Snacks: These flavour drums aren’t limited to snack production; they can be used for tumbling or mixing other products, such as salads and multi-dry ingredient recipes, further enhancing their utility.
  • Insulation Options: The drums come in single or double-skin variations, providing options to match the specific needs of different processes.
