Food Industry - Spice Mixing and Measuring Machine

A triangle or a multipond should do it.

triangle website is http://www.trianglepackage.com/

they are more pricey, a more resonable alternative would be Multipond

This guy David, was pretty helpful for multipond djones@synequip.com,

As Phoenix911 said Triangle does make a blender but you will pay...alot.

Heat and Control has a blending system that has been very successful and is considerably more reasonable than Triangle. http://www.heatandcontrol.com/eqmain.asp?eqid=53

Heat and Control also has a long history of custom applications so they would be worth getting a bid from.

Another option would be to contact Burghoff in Chicago. While his primary business is ice cream platter conveyors and lidder applicators, Casper can make anything.

Can you post:

Do you need to weight out these ingredients, or is volume OK?

There is an Consulting and Engineering Co in Central Pa that has done much work with us in the pill industry, at very high speeds.

I am sure he would not like me to put his contact information on the web, but if interested can send it directly to you.

We currently hand measure all of these ingredients... anywhere from 1/8 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon. Some ingredients (onion flakes, cilantro, etc) can come out in different shapes every time, so I'm thinking we would need to use weight and not volume due to random variation...

That would be great if you could send it to me.

Thank You

I am sure this company can work that out for you.

We were looking into a system for pigments with weights ranging from .005 lb to 900 lbs in the same blend. They had the equipment.

Any company constructing weighing or packaging machines can do this. Have a look through the thomas or kelly directory for one in your area.

Google automatic form and fill machines and you will get lots of companies that are in the business

But exactly which kind of machine will work where we are using different density material mixed together. It will cause weight variation.

you would go for weigh scales not volumetric such as multipond, or triangle and others mentioned eariler

Depending on the volume of manufacture/ processing, you can use weight, volume or time. The speed of the powder can act as a liquid, so a timer can be used, contact food processing machine manufacturers in your area, I have seen all types made. The basic packaging machine is the same, just a different nozzle for catching the products.

experiences I have with using volume metric scales for accuracy may be questionable if its in small quality or spices it may not all be powder or dry?

surch on google (pakona multi ware packing machine ) i worke in Shan Foods which deals in spices manufacturing and packing we ues this machine

The group I am a part of does this type of work, especially where there are multiple precision infeeds to the packaging machinery. If you would like to contact us you can send me a message and I will reply with our contact information.

Hey guys,

Thanks alot for all the help on our needs. I've become very well briefed in the past few days and will be making my calls next week.
