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.
Oil and dry seasoning is a robust and popular method for seasoning snacks. Typically oil will be sprayed with the KMG Liquid Spray Unit at the infeed to the drum and dry seasoning at the outfeed. Alternatively both systems can be fed from the drum infeed position. The KMG oil spray system delivers an accurate consistent spray pattern, oil delivery and droplet size over a wide range of throughputs together with an accurate consistent curtain of seasoning by virtue of full gravimetric control. The KMG Liquid Spray unit is designed for use with a wide variety of oils and other fluids. If your base product requires oil and dry seasoning then we can design and manufacture the perfect system for you.

FlowWeigher™
The KMG FlowWeigher™, a vibratory flow rate measuring system, is engineered to address precision and accuracy to ensure product quality and optimise manufacturing processes with ground-breaking technology. It stands out as the only system that integrates a load cell directly beneath the vibratory tray that holds the product. This patented innovation enables the real-time measurement of the flow rate of even very light materials with exceptional accuracy.
KMG Loss in Weight (LIW)
KMG Loss in Weight (LIW) as part of a seasoning application system ensures the correct amount of seasoning is always applied.
Flavour Feed Vibratory Conveyor
The Flavour Feed Vibratory Conveyor, also known as the scarf feeder, is an extremely important component in the realm of snack food production. This unassuming yet indispensable machine plays a critical role in conveying seasoning or salt powder into the flavour drum, ensuring consistent and precise flavour application. This machine efficiently contributes to the production of perfectly seasoned snacks and it’s exactly what you need to make your snacks taste perfect.
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.
Liquid Spray Unit
The KMG Liquid Spray Unit (LSU) demonstrates our focus on good design combined with excellent performance. The KMG LSU operates without the use of compressed air which means no oil mist and sets a new standard in levels of accuracy.
Flavour Vacuum Lift (VLS)
In the world of snack food manufacturing, precision isn't just an option; it's an absolute necessity. One vital yet often missed component that ensures this precision is the Flavour Vacuum Lift (VLS) by KMG. This remarkable piece of machinery is designed to convey batches of powders efficiently and hygienically within ducting, making it a cornerstone of snack food production.
Powder Dosing Unit
Our Patented Powder Dosing Unit comes with all the features that you would expect from KMG. Its designed to be robust, reliable, easy to use and hygienic. Suitable for a wide range of seasonings, the KMG Powder Dosing Unit is designed with customer product, process and expectations in mind. It works seamlessly with our Loss in Weight, patented FlowWeigher and Vacuum Lift system to form the backbone of our world class seasoning system.
Air Filtration Unit (AFU)
An often underestimated yet crucial component that plays a significant role in maintaining product quality and ensuring the well-being of employees is the Air Filtration Unit (AFU). Specifically engineered by KMG, the Air Filtration Unit (AFU) represents an indispensable dust containment system meticulously designed to operate seamlessly alongside a seasoning fill hopper or the KMG Vacuum Lift System (VLS) to ensure precision and hygiene.
Smart Seasoning Validation
In the food manufacturing industry, ensuring the safety and quality of products is paramount, especially when it comes to allergen risks. Smart seasoning validation is a cutting-edge solution designed to make it easy for operators to load the correct seasoning and prevent operators from inadvertently filling a seasoning hopper with the wrong seasoning, thereby minimising the potential for allergen cross-contamination.
KMG designed these features of smart seasoning validation, and fully recognise its crucial role in maintaining allergen control and safeguarding product integrity.

The KMG oil and dry seasoning system is robust and reliable. We can scale up for in kitchen applications or scale down for OMS. With today’s move towards healthy snacking, many base products are baked which means they need a very light application of oil in order to enhance mouthfeel and assist with seasoning adhesion. If you are developing a healthy snack food product and you are interested in an oil and dry seasoning system then you might like to have a look at Helen’s blog.
Liquid Spray Unit
The KMG oil and dry seasoning system uses an airless oil spray system which completely eliminates misting. By modulating the flow at the nozzle, we accurately control the oil flow to within 1% of the set point. Our carefully designed spray pattern ensures that the oil is applied evenly to the base product inside the coating drum. With our closed loop flow and pressure control we can ensure that our oil and dry seasoning system is the most accurate available.
Powder dosing Unit
Another important component of the KMG oil and dry seasoning system is our patented KMG powder dosing unit. The PDU meters the dry seasoning onto our scarfed edge vibratory seasoning feeder and this provides consistent seasoning coverage. The PDU is designed to be entirely leak free with an open, clean design suitable for washdown areas. The body and hopper are entirely removable for easy cleaning. Our closed loop gravimetric system ensures that precisely the right amount of oil and dry seasoning is applied.
FlowWeigherTM
The patented KMG FlowWeigherTM is the backbone of our oil and dry seasoning system. This patented innovation allows the instantaneous flow of very light materials to be measured with accuracy. It generates a 4-20mA output which corresponds to the flow rate and this signal is used by our liquid spray unit and powder dosing unit to deliver exactly the right amount of seasoning.
