For a simple or complex mix of snacks, fruit and vegetables, frozen foods, cereal, nuts or many other products, the Fastback All-In-One blending system accurately weighs and blends multiple ingredients while they are on their way to packaging.
This system developed by Heat and Control is simple precise and versatile and is yet another way to improve line efficiency.
Key design principles of the Fastback are highlighted in this mixing and blending system.
Due to the gentle slow-forward fast-back conveying motion, blend consistency is maintained as it moves towards packaging.
This ensures no separation or layering of ingredients as well as following the 'first-in-first-out' rule of thumb.
To maintain blend accuracy within 2% to 4% of your target, depending on the product, a Fastback feed module with dynamic ingredient hoppers is used. Load cells precisely measure the delivery of each ingredient.
The modular design allows for easy installation on existing lines and for line expansion. For each ingredient type used in the mix or blend, a feed module is added.
Ideal for even the most delicate products, a Fastback conveyor dramatically reduces product breakage and coating loss and is the most sanitary choice as coatings do not build up in the conveyor pans.
The user-friendly PLC driven recipe control system contains settings for 50 products and improves blend consistency and enables faster changeovers.
Proven reliable in hundreds of installations, Fastback conveyors require no preventative maintenance.
