PRODUCTS & SERVICES FLEXIBLE SNACK LINES Pretzel and bread snack systems from Reading Bakery Systems produce 880 to 2,200 lb per hour and can be installed as automatic or manually operated lines. The company's turnkey lines often include the Low Pressure (LP) Extruder that creates pretzel shapes, sticks and other extruded snack products. Custom dies allow for unique shapes, and co-extrusion allows for one-ofa-kind presentations and textures.

The upgraded design includes food grade components, stainless steel contact surfaces and food grade gaskets, which increase sanitation. The unit is completely enclosed, which allows for process containment and easy housekeeping. APEC's Mistcoater line uses spinning disks instead of clogprone spray nozzles to apply liquids onto dry product.

(804) 520-5400 www.blueprintautomation.com SCALE PARTS WASHERS Douglas Machines Corp. expanded its line of scale parts washers by adding a compact economy model that minimizes the need for mezzanine modifications and helps overcome clearance issues. Parts are loaded at the weigh station and transported to the washer on specialized slide-in/slide-out wash racks mounted on a convenient transport dolly. This feature protects the parts during transfer and extends their lifespan by reducing the number of times the parts are handled. The typical wash/rinse cycle takes five minutes.

Quinoa is often called a supergrain because of its high level of protein and superior content of omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants. It is also gluten-free. SK Food prepares quinoa crisps through a custom milling process and offers them in sizes ranging from 1.7 to 3.75 mm. Packaging sizes include 50-lb bags and bulk totes.
