People from the snack food industry are invited to “Saddle Up for Success” at the 79th edition of the SNAXPO Exhibition and Conference, to take place March 19 – 22 at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas.
With estimated figures of 1,500 industry professionals and 150 exhibitors expected to come from all over the world to participate at this year’s SNAXPO trade show, the event attracts leading manufacturers and suppliers from all areas of the snack-food industry.
One of those companies is Heat and Control who manufactures and supplies complete line solutions for the snack industry. Along with their partners Ishida and CEIA, Heat and Control can provide solutions of one machine or a complete line, from processing, seasoning and coating applications, to conveying, weighing, bag-making, packaging, metal detection, X-ray inspection, and check-weighing.
During Snaxpo 2016 people will be able to see in action Ishida’s Ultrasonic snack food bag maker, their X-ray and check-weigh systems, as well as the new CEIA metal detection.
Ishida’s Atlas Ultrasonic snack food bag maker uses significantly less packaging film and improves seal quality. Traditional bag sealing uses high-temperature jaws that transfer heat through all layers of the film producing a wide seal. Ishida’s technology heats only the sealant layers of the mated film surfaces. This produces end and back seals that are 30-50% narrower and far stronger than ordinary heat seals.
To ensure the precise weight and product count, Ishida DACS check weighers are available for dry and wash down applications. Preset product parameters allow quick changeovers, no tools are required to change belts, and anti-floor vibration maintains consistent accuracy.
The world’s largest manufacturer of metal detectors, CEIA, has developed multi-spectrum technology available in no other metal detector. In addition to the industry’s highest sensitivity to all magnetic and non-magnetic metals, including stainless steel, CEIA MS21 detectors accurately differentiate between product effect and metal contaminants with no need to reduce sensitivity. CEIA metal detectors are available for free-falling, powder, granular, liquid, ferrous-in-foil and other packaged and un-packaged product applications.
Snaxpo exhibitors will enjoy great exposure to over 1,000 domestic and international snack food professionals who will be looking for new equipment, ingredients, products and services to help them achieve greater efficiency and profitability for their companies.
The Snack Food Association, the event’s organizers, have also arranged a variety of educational programs, timely speakers, and special events are lined-up.
