PUFF

Cretors Hot Air Puffer

Using hot air and a rotating drum, the hot air puffer takes the residual moisture in dried cereal pieces and causes it to evaporate, resulting in the puffed cereal piece expanding and giving it a light and crispy texture. Multiple different cereal pieces can be used, including corn, wheat, rice, chickpea, potato, and lentils.

SYRUP

Groen Oil Jacketed Kettle Cooker

Featuring an auto-mixing blade, this large volume kettle cooker can produce perfectly mixed syrups to season or flavor your snacks.  Oil jacketed kettles can also produce confections, which means that we can produce things like toffee peanuts or similar items.

FLAVOR

Stokes Panning Machines

With a rotating large capacity drum and internal ribs to help mix, the Stokes Panning Machine is a useful tool for evenly applying flavorings to smaller pieces like nuts or seeds or baked goods like cereal pieces. By wet and/or dry flavorings, we can get even flavor coatings on each piece and create consistent flavors without hot spots or un-flavored pieces.

BAKE

Revent Rotating Rack Ovens

Featuring a central rotating point, these ovens are loaded with full racks and provide even heating for scalable production.  With belt driven ovens, you can experience a significant degree of waste due to hot spots.  Rotating rack ovens prevent that by both using convection fans to circulate the hot air and by rotating the racks as well to prevent hot spots from forming.  These ovens are great to set the seasoning on a snack mix and provide a kill step, improving your product’s shelf life and overall food safety.

CARDBOARD SHIPPER (optional)

Shippers are typically used by brick and mortar stores to display holiday or products with a limited-time promotion.  In grocery stores, shippers are a good way to move more product as they don’t get lost in the middle of a shelf.
