Automated filler, sealer for pouches introduced
by Triangle, JDD
Triangle Manufacturing and JDD Packaging have teamed up
to create the new rotary pouch machine, which is designed to fill
three-sided seal, flat pouches and
stand-up pouches (SUP) at speeds
up to 50 pouches per minute
(ppm). The rotary pouch filler is
available in two models: Model
JRPM-8812 and JRPM-81215.
Depending on the type of
product being filled, the Triangle/
JDD Rotary Pouch Machine
utilizes either a Triangle InLine Combination Weigher or other
scale or auger to fill product into pouches. The system includes a
series of stations to pick, open, fill and seal the pre-made pouch.
Other stations include a horizontal in-feed belt to handle all
pouch styles and a pouch out-feed conveyor. Standard features
also include a pouch shaker to help settle product, as well as a
Markem date coder.

Heat and Control releases new dryer/roaster system
Heat and Control, an equipment manufacturer and food
industry supplier, recently released its Rotary Dryer Roaster (RDR)
multizone convection dryer/roaster system.
The RDR provides optimal drying or roasting in a continuous,
gentle and sanitary manner with complete control to produce
quality, uniform results. Utilizing the food industry's recent
technological advances, RDR was developed to capitalize on the
new opportunities for high-volume continuous processing of snack
foods, such as nuts, seeds, and protein/meat-based snacks and
advances Heat and Control's snack line capability, enabling them to
offer an end-to-end solution for seasoned and coated nut snacks.
Unlike static rack ovens, as product is gently tumbled in the
RDR, heated air circulates through the product bed to facilitate
uniform drying/moisture removal or roasting. The design handles
the raw product in a continuous, high-density manner through a
unique flighted drum that ensures positive motion.
