Maker of Hardbite Chips modernizes seasoning applicator
Naturally Homegrown Foods sees improved consistency, lower costs with automated system.
Gourmet chip manufacturer Naturally Homegrown Foods, Ltd. supplies its batch-fried chips to retail locations in Canada, the United States and Asia. In the face of growing demand for its signature Hardbite Chips, the company was looking to replace an out-of-date steel coating drum and dry powder applicator with an efficient automated system.
The Maple Ridge, British Columbia, Canada-based company needed a flexible seasoning solution that ensured the consistent and efficient application of eight different dry seasonings, with minimum machine downtime between flavor changes. In addition, the new system had to integrate and work seamlessly alongside other processing machinery in the facility.
