On Machine Seasoning

KMG OMS seasoning systems offer producers flexibility where multiple outlets are fed with product and seasoned directly above the packaging machine. Each seasoning system is fully gravimetric and can be cleaned in less than 20minutes whilst production is unaffected to other stations.

KMG first pioneered OMS in the early 1980’s and has since defined the standard for seasoning above the packing machine. The principles of operation achieve world class seasoning standards by using tried and tested equipment from our portfolio. Fed on demand by KMG distribution systems, batches of product are converted into a continuous stream, the flow is automatically measured and seasoning proportioned onto the product.

Features

Unique enhanced control of seasoning to full capability at low packing rates
Automatic adjustment of seasoning system to match packing rate
Automatic regulation of flow rate to minimise stop/start of drum.
Base product in-flight weight measurement, using KMG’s patented Flow Weigher, combined with Volumetric or Gravimetric (Loss-in-weight) seasoning application.
Choice of Siemens or Allen Bradley controls, with the option of system integration including Wonderware and SCADA.
Both dry and liquid seasoning can be incorporated in the same drum.

On Machine Seasoning Machines

Proportioning Control Vibratory Conveyor

The control of feed from process to multiple seasoning or packing lines using a single vibratory conveyor with proportioning split from 0-100%.

Flow-Weigher

The KMG Flow-Weigher is the only vibratory flow rate measuring system with a load cell fitted directly below the actual vibratory tray carrying the product. This patented innovation allows the instantaneous flow rate of very light materials to be measured with accuracy.

Loss in Weight

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

Also known as a scarf feeder these convey seasoning or salt powder into flavour drum for consistent flavour application.

Flavour Drum

Different products require different handling / tumbling requirements. From potato chips to extruded snacks and tortilla chips to name but a few, KMG seasoning flavour drums are designed with customer product, process and expectations in mind.

Flavour Vacuum Lift (VLS)

The Vacuum Lift System (VLS) is designed to convey batches of powders in a pipe system from a bulk hopper or tipping station to a metering powder dispenser.

Air Filtration Unit (AFU)

The KMG Air filtration Unit (AFU) is a dust containment unit designed to accompany a seasoning fill hopper or KMG Vacuum Lift System (VLS)

Smart Seasoning Validation

Smart seasoning validation helps to prevent operators inadvertently putting the wrong seasoning into a hopper feeding a seasoning system, which is a huge allergen risk.
