Libra™ Seasoning
Simple solution to control product-to-seasoning ratios A consistent product mass flow is vital to the performance of any process line. The PPM Technologies Libra Technology has been applied to various processes to control and monitor product flow optimizing the performance of processing lines globally.
The Libra Seasoning system combines the precise weighing features of Libra Technology with seasoning functions enhancing quality of any seasoned product including snack foods, nuts and cereals. Traditional seasoning systems apply seasoning based on a pre-determined set point resulting in over and under seasoning of product as product flow rate vary over time.
Libra Technology provides two ways to improve efficiency for seasoning application. The first method simply controls the mass flow of product through the seasoning system to a set point. The seasoning rate is then set to optimally coat product at this set point reducing the amount of over and under coating of product.
The second method applies Libra Technology to control seasoning rates based on actual product flow. Changes in product flow are monitored by the Libra system signaling these fluctuations to the seasoner. The seasoning controller then continuously adjusts the application rate to optimize product-to-seasoning ratio.
By better controlling product-to-seasoning ratio, processors are able to reduce seasoning loss due to over seasoning product. The Libra Seasoning System is able to control seasoning application rates to within 0.6% of set application rate.
The PPM Technologies Libra Seasoning System will improve the efficiency of your line by better controlling product-to-seasoning ratios.
