The use of high-pressure pasteurization opens the doors for food processors to better manage raw materials, produce just-in-time products and formulate better-for-you recipes without skipping a beat.

Utilizing a ZSKA refrigeration compressor, the Emerson Climate Technologies Copeland Scroll FFAP Series condensing unit is compatible with a variety of refrigerants, including R-404A, R-134a, R-407C and R-22.

Incorporating a patented dry-coil design, the Baltimore Aircoil TrilliumSeries condenser reduces peak energy and uses less refrigerant charge.

The Stein GYRoCOMPACT (GCO) II-1000 spiral oven offers a choice of up-flow, down-flow or dynamic airflow control air through the belt stack to accommodate a range of products and processes.

Engineered for applications involving fluids with extreme viscosity or volume ratios, the Chemineer Kenics KMX-V static mixer generates mixing per unit length for laminar flow and high/low viscosity ratio applications.

With the NuTECtured patty fill system, patties are formed and assembled in random, interwoven, grinder-sized strands for better heat transfer throughout the product; interweaving reduces cooking times and promotes consistent patty weight and shape after cooking. 

Using heat produced during the compression process, the Ingersoll Rand air-cooled heat-of-compression dryer produces instrument-quality air using virtually no energy.

Heat and Control’s MasterTherm is a versatile prepared foods fryer that uniformly fries batter, breaded and uncoated poultry, meat, seafood and vegetable products.
