Prepared FoodsProcessing Systems

It started with the first TV Dinner. Since the inception of industrial

food production, Heat and Control has partnered with prepared food manufacturers to meet

every challenge to achieve higher capacities, lower production costs

and superior product quality.

For meat, poultry, seafood, vegetables, and a growing menu of other prepared foods, Heat and Control builds a complete range of equipment for coating application, cooking, grill marking and searing, conveying, weighing, packaging, and inspection.

FROM A TO Z

PREPARED FOODS EXPERTISEEvery machine features innovative technology developed through years of experience and expertise from installations at food plants around the world. Heavy-duty construction to the highest global sanitary standards provides decades of reliable operation and low lifecycle costs to produce prepared foods of superior quality.

Uniformly apply tempura, standard and light batters, along with marinades of different viscosities, to all product surfaces.

SureCoat® Universal Batter Applicators are uniquely designed for quick conversion from submersion to top curtain coating. Batter underflow is also available, as are dip or top-flow only and custom designs. Continuous filtration removes lumps. Thorough cleaning is simplified with tilt-up conveyors and easily accessible batter contact parts.

BATTER APPLICATORS

Use the same breading applicator to coat a wide range of products. With the simple change of the top hopper, apply flour pre-dust, Japanese crumb, and other free-flowing and non free-flowing breadings. Gentle handling reduces crumb breakdown yet quickly transports heavy breadings.

Adjustable top coating, variable bottom density using a patented lifter conveyor, interchangeable hoppers, sifter conveyors, and other features give you precise control of coating quality. Customized or standard, all breading applicators accelerate productivity and trim the costs of maintenance and sanitation.

FRYERSHeat and Control provides more choices when it comes to selecting a new fryer. Direct and indirect-heated fryers are individually engineered to fit the required process.

Choose from thermal fluid, steam, natural gas, oil, or electric heating. Conveyor systems designed to fit process requirements, tempura and Teflon infeed sections, multiple temperature zones and a variety of continuous oil filters can be included.

Optimal product handling, uniform oil heating and flow control, efficient fines removal, fast oil turnover and CIP sanitation are all part of the fryer package that produces the highest quality product with a long shelf life.

• Breaded Products Fryers• MasterTherm® thermal fluid fryers• HeatWave® oil curtain fryers• Mastermatic direct gas-fired fryers• Food service fryers

OIL MANAGEMENTSuperior oil quality produces the best fried foods with a long shelf life. Every component of a Heat and Control system is designed to maximize oil quality. Advanced control of oil heating, filtration, cooling and storage, with rapid oil turnover rates, results in superb oil quality for the freshest product possible.

Gain additional production time and cooking control by quickly cooling oil before sanitation. Automatic oil cooling systems reduce thermal damage to the oil and minimize delays between production and sanitation.

Cooling

Whether the fryer is direct or externally heated, a variety of heat exchangers are available using natural gas, thermal fluid or steam. All deliver gentle, yet rapid oil heating and extremely responsive temperature adjustment to changes in product load to maintain consistent product quality.

Heating

Rapid removal of product particles is essential to preserving oil quality. This also eliminates unsightly specks on product and reduces fryer cleaning time. From slip-stream fines removal to filtration of the total system oil volume once every minute, a variety of oil filters are available to remove large and/or sub-micron size particles from our continuous fryer systems.

Filtration

FRYER SUPPORT MODULESignificantly reduce the time and cost of fryer system installation by centralizing oil pumps, filters, valves, piping and other components on a Fryer Support Module. Fully piped and wired to single-point utility connections, simply set the module in place and connect the fryer. This module simplifies maintenance, reduces piping runs and floor space requirements.

POLLUTION + ENERGY MANAGEMENTSustainable efficiency and environmentally-safe operation are key design elements. Choose from a variety of solutions that reduce pollution and maximize energy-savings.

• KleenHeat® Pollution Control Heat Exchanger• Heat Recovery System• Booster Heater• Oil Mist Eliminator• Water recovery

‘ovens that deliver uniform cooking with maximum yield’

OVENSHeat and Control ovens provide the control and flexibility to cook any recipe, with the highest yields at the largest capacities. Patented design features maintain the optimal cooking environment for all products.

Repeatable settings for temperature, moisture levels, dwell time, and air velocities produce the highest quality products. Multiple temperature zones are available to customize cooking profiles. When it comes time for cleaning, automatic clean-in-place systems complete the job in minimal time.

High yields, uniform cooking and streamlined sanitation make Heat and Control ovens the preferred choice of the world’s leading prepared foods processors.

• CEOTM Color Enhancing Oven• Single and twin-drum spiral ovens• AirForce® impingement ovens• MPO® high yield convection ovens• Steam cooking systems• Infrared ovens• Food service ovens

SURFACE ENHANCEMENTEnhance products with an appetizing just-grilled appearance and flavor. Apply BBQ grill marks, char-grilled accents or overall browning to customize the look and flavor of formed and natural meat, poultry, seafood and vegetable products.• Rotary Branders• Direct Flame Searers• Infrared Searers• Combination Brander-Searers

NUGGET FORMERCreate naturally shaped meat nuggets and crumbles for pizza topping, soups, and taco fillings. Specially shaped extrusion holes produce crumbled nuggets from beef, pork, poultry or meat blends. The Nugget Former mounts on the infeed conveyor or feed end of the cooking system for easy integration and maximum versatility.

CONTROL + INFORMATION SYSTEMSRely on the same company that designs and builds the processing line to also supply operating and data management controls. As a certified systems integrator and hardware supplier, Heat and Control provides user-friendly controls utilizing widely available industry software. With access to all critical data points, IT systems provide the responsive control and operating feedback to maximize productivity and help plan for greater efficiency.

Information That Matters® (ITM) delivers production line information metrics in real-time to plant floor dashboards, computers or smart phones. The dashboard continuously shows the health levels of the system via large displays.

ITM systems present information in an easy to understand format so operations and maintenance personnel have the tools necessary to improve line performance.
