Sheets and Controls Weight of Corn Products
The Paragon™ Sheeters from Heat and Control offer robust and precise sheeting solutions for food manufacturers and snack producers. This equipment utilizes a direct gear drive system with differential speed cylindrical rolls to achieve uniform product sheeting, while the integrated Automatic Weight Control ensures consistent product weight. Ideal for producing tortilla chips, taco shells, and other corn-based snacks, it supports continuous, high-speed operations with applications in tortilla production, corn products, and grain processing. The open frame design allows for easy cleaning and washdown construction, reducing maintenance time and costs. Additionally, the continuous lump remover improves efficiency by redirecting scrap material. Engineered for durability and integration, these sheeters streamline operations in bakery and snack food industries.
