High-volume product distribution system

Efficiently manage high-volume snack and confectionery production flows with a system designed to distribute products seamlessly across multiple packaging lines, ensuring optimal handling and precision loading to maintain product integrity.

Distributes and Manages High-Volume Product Flow

The Flowmaster from Royal Houdijk revolutionizes product distribution in the food packaging industry by efficiently managing high-volume flows. This system adeptly distributes diverse products such as potato chips, candy bars, and snack packs across multiple downstream packaging legs like slug wrappers and tray loaders. Its operation is seamless, utilizing a flat product handling technique that preserves product integrity by preventing squeezing or scuffing. Capable of continuous, high-speed operations, the Flowmaster integrates easily into existing production lines and meets the dynamic needs of confectionery and snack manufacturers. With its flexible design and capacity for high throughput, it’s ideal for food producers looking to optimize their packaging efficiency. Available in materials suitable for food contact, it is constructed to endure the rigorous demands of packaging environments while simplifying maintenance through its accessible design.
