Balances Moisture in Tortilla and Corn Products
The Corn Products Conditioning System is a vital component in Heat and Control’s suite of solutions for the snack and tortilla production industry. Designed to efficiently balance moisture in corn-based products, this system is essential for preventing blister formation during frying. With its enclosed cabinet technology, it creates an optimal humid environment, ensuring moisture equilibrium within chips and shells before frying. Ideal for producing nacho cheese tortilla chips, blue corn chips, and crispy taco shells, this system integrates seamlessly into continuous operations. Available in one, three, and five-tier models, it supports various conditioning times while occupying minimal floor space. The stainless steel finish not only enhances its durability but also simplifies cleaning procedures with its accessible design. This system is particularly beneficial for food processing companies and snack manufacturers who aim to optimize product quality and production efficiency.
