Multihead combination weighers

A.M.P-Rose’s multihead combination weighing machines support high-speed weighing of a wide range of food items, from free-flowing, sticky, fresh to frozen types. They can be programmed to support different weights and feeding characteristics. Linear vibrator feeders feed the products into holding buckets from a central vibrator. The products are then discharged on demand into weigh pans, each of which contains a certain percentage of the total target weight.  Booth B10

High-capacity kettle chip fryer

HEAT & CONTROL’s MasterTherm Kettle Fryer (MTKF) can yield 500 finished pounds of batch fried potato chips per hour. The thermal fluid heat exchanger ensures gentle and uniform oil heat.  The MTKF retains heat for high energy efficiency and steam blankets the oil to purge the oxygen and prolong oil life. PLC control keeps the temperature profile consistent and stores multiple product profiles for quick changeovers. The Chip-Stirr paddle system automatically agitates and removes the potato slices from the fryer.  Booth C9
