Industry: Food Processing, Snack Foods
Customer Profile: An industry-leading supplier specializing in nuts, seeds, and specialty snack products, providing premium ingredients to renowned names within the restaurant and snack food industries.
Challenge: The customer required a precise and consistent method to evenly distribute seasoning along the entire length of a horizontal tumbler. Their previous approach resulted in uneven coverage, impacting product quality and consistency.
Hapman Solution: Hapman implemented a customized model 281SV PosiPortion™ feeder, featuring an 8 ft³ extension hopper and an extended-length, slotted discharge nozzle designed specifically to span the full length of the horizontal tumbler.
Goal: The primary objective was to achieve uniform and controlled seasoning dispersion within the customer’s existing horizontal tumbler, ensuring consistent product quality and enhancing efficiency.
Integration Process: The integration involved mounting the Hapman PosiPortion™ feeder on a tailored stand, positioning the feeder nozzle precisely at the required height for optimal insertion into the horizontal tumbler. The feeder’s screw and slotted nozzle were meticulously sized to guarantee even distribution of seasoning across the entire length of the tumbler, effectively addressing the customer’s production challenge.
Outcome: The precise control and consistency provided by the Hapman feeder significantly improved seasoning distribution, ensuring product uniformity and enhancing overall operational efficiency for the customer. This tailored solution has strengthened their position in supplying high-quality snack ingredients to their notable clientele.
