Typical process flow

  1. 1

    Infeed & de-watering

    Gentle infeed, screening and water removal to stabilize flow and protect product.

    • Stabilize upstream hopper levels and line pace
    • Screen fines; remove free water to reduce carryover
  2. 2

    Blanching / Cooking

    Clean-Flow® or rotary drum systems optimize heat transfer and uniformity.

    • Uniform residence time for consistent texture
    • Hydro-Flow® agitation improves heat transfer and recovery
  3. 3

    Cooling & separation

    Rapid cooling locks texture and stops cook; separation removes starch and fines.

    • Counter-flow cooling for lower water usage
    • Starch removal to improve downstream QA
  4. 4

    Inspection & conveying

    Product handling to packaging with optional QA gates.

    • Vision/metal detection where specified
    • Sanitary conveyors with easy access for cleaning
  5. 5

    Packaging (chub/carton)

    KartridgPak chubmaker or cartoning; date-coding integrated via Elmoprint.

    • Tight diameter control; flexible sealing options
    • Recipe-driven changeovers for short runs
  6. 6

    Controls & data

    Recipe control, OEE visibility and integration to plant systems.

    • PLC/HMI with multilingual UI and stored recipes
    • OEE and alarms available for SCADA/MES
