Pellet Snacks
Conveying and Seasoning systems for Pellet Snacks
Pellet snacks are preformed shapes that are either baked or fried to form the finished product. This can be seasoned with dry powder, sometimes after a controlled oil application.
Seasoning Systems
Repeatability and accuracy are essential to good product seasoning and KMG has for many years been at the forefront of seasoning system for snack manufacturers. Whether you wish to season in the kitchen at ground level or directly above the packing system, KMG has seasoning systems to suit all requirements. At KMG we understand the importance of accurate, repeatable seasoning delivery and our seasoning systems are designed to be robust and reliable.
On Machine Seasoning System
KMG On Machine Seasoning System (OMS) offers producers flexibility where multiple outlets are fed with product and seasoned directly above the packaging machine. Each On Machine Seasoning System (OMS) is fully gravimetric and can be cleaned in less than 20 minutes whilst to other stations production is unaffected.
Oil & Dry Seasoning
Using the features of KMG Liquid spray units and dry seasoning systems KMG has perfected the oil and dry seasoning of Tortilla Chips, Popcorn, Nuts and Extruded products for the worlds leading snack manufacturers.
Slurry Coating
Extruded snacks may need to be heavily seasoned for deep flavour absorption into the product. Where separate oil and dry application systems can’t be used, KMG slurry coating systems may be the alternative.
Product Blending
KMG understands the importance of accurate mixing ratios, gentle product handling and achieving consistent and precise blends. With our advanced blending systems, we offer professionals in the industry the ability to combine multiple product streams to create homogenous mixes. Whether you need to feed a packaging machine or a seasoning loop, our blending systems deliver exceptional results, ensuring the perfect blend every time.
