Podmores have developed and installed a bespoke automated pick and place system to put Mini Eggs onto the top of cakes. The entire system features a very small footprint and can was built to fit around the customer's existing production line, improving output to around 25,000 eggs on cakes per hour, all at a very high quality.
The system was manufactured from stainless steel to ensure the Mini Eggs were free from contamination and designed to ensure quick clean down is possible to minimisie down time and also to meet the customer’s high standards of hygeine.
Podmores have developed and installed a bespoke dough recovery system for collecting and returning off-cuts of pastry from a production line so that it can be easily returned into the manufacturing process for re-use.
The system was manufactured from 316 stainless steel to ensure the dough was free from contamination and designed to ensure quick clean down is possible to minimisie down time and also to meet the customer’s high standards of hygeine.
Podmores have constructed a system perfectly suited to flavouring snack food products, especially preparing potato chips for rotary flavour coating. The de-oiling and flavour feed vibratory feeder based system remains an increasingly popular method of preparing products by first shaking them over an angled vibratory feeder fitted with screens to remove excess oils from the cooking process with flavours being added by the separate feeder situated above.
The feeders load the de-oiled product and flavours into a rotary mixer and has been commissioned for a 100kg throughput per hour which easily meets the customer's criteria - substantially higher rates were achieved in testing.
