Seasoning mixing system for extruded snacks
When producing extruded snacks, achieving uniform seasoning distribution can be challenging. Irregular application of oil/spices or sweet water-based solutions can lead to inconsistent flavor profiles, impacting product quality and consumer satisfaction.
Ensure homogeneous seasoning application and precise dosing
The Seasoning Mixing System SWDS by Hebenstreit is designed for the effective and uniform preparation and application of seasoning to extruded snacks. It consists of a heated mixing tank where oil suspensions or sweet water-based slurries are prepared and maintained at the desired temperature. The mixture is then evenly applied to dried extrudates using a dosimeter and application system within a seasoning drum. The system includes specialized mixing tools, such as the turbo mixing tool, which ensures ingredients are thoroughly combined. Additionally, both slurry and dry seasoning dosing systems are incorporated, enabling volumetric or gravimetric dosing for precise and consistent seasoning application. This system is particularly suitable for the snack industry, where reliable seasoning distribution is critical for product consistency.
Benefits
- Homogeneous seasoning preparation and distribution
- Accurate volumetric or gravimetric dosing
- Maintains seasoning at optimal temperatures
- Reduced risk of flavor inconsistency
- Versatile for both oil-based and water-based seasonings
