FastBack 4.0 to debut in Propak Philippines 2026

Heat and Control will return to ProPak Philippines 2026 in Manila this February, highlighting their innovations in processing, conveying, and seasoning designed to boost efficiency and product quality for food processors.

Sales Manager Ricky Ong says the trade show is an important platform for development and innovation in the Philippines.

“As demand for high-quality processed foods grows, processors in the region are focused on optimizing production lines with energy-efficient equipment and more sustainable processing methods,” says Ong.

Debuting FastBack 4.0 in Asia

At ProPak Philippines 2026, Heat and Control will showcase FastBack 4.0 for the first time in Asia, highlighting a new-generation horizontal motion conveyor designed to boost efficiency and sanitation.

Described as “beautifully simple,” the low-maintenance design helps processors save time and labor, providing industry leading sanitation in both dry and wet, high-pressure washdown environments.

FastBack 4.0 is the result of more than 10 years of development, supported by multiple international patents and a development partnership with industrial bearing manufacturer SKF (AB SKF). Guided by customer feedback — FastBack 4.0 introduces design improvements aimed at making the conveyor easier to operate, clean, and own.

Key features include:

• -- Ultra-quiet operation
• -- A smaller, thinner footprint to fit a wider range of installations
• -- A new reverse capability that allows product flow to be reversed instantly, at the flick of a switch

FastBack 4.0 is a horizontal motion conveyor designed to boost efficiency and sanitation

Ideal applications include potato chips, snack foods, bakery foods, frozen fruits and vegetables, candy and confectionery, cereal, pet food, meat and poultry, French fries, meat alternative products, and more.

Seasoning innovation

Heat and Control has also recently introduced its new FastBack Symphony Seasoning Systems for snack processors advancing On-Machine Seasoning (OMS) and In-Kitchen (IKS) seasoning applications.

At ProPak Philippines 2026, the company will highlight its In-Kitchen seasoning solution. The IKS solution is particularly relevant for snacks processors operating at small-to-medium throughput, offering an economical, low-downtime option for applications where frequent flavour changeovers are not required.

“Our newly launched seasoning solutions tackle seasoning allergen and operational challenges while enhancing accuracy, efficiency, and waste reduction for in-kitchen applications,” Ong adds.

Heat and Control will run daily live demonstrations of FastBack 4.0 at its stand, giving visitors the opportunity to see the latest-generation conveyor in action and speak directly with experts about their production goals.
