PRODUCTS & PACKAGING

MELT TANKS
Melt tanks from Schebler Food
Equipment are designed to keep
large quantities of chocolate heated,
fluid and in constant motion for feeding coating and enrobing machines.
A thermostatically controlled water
jacket permits maximum circulation
of heated water, while a gear motordriven agitator with wall and bottom
scrapers maintain an even mixture
of pre-cut chocolate chunks with
already liquid chocolate. Schebler
offers individualized solutions from
one- to multiple-machine systems,
including piping, process tanks,
infeed and discharge conveyors,
pumping and complete automation.
Standard melt tank sizes include
250, 500, 1,000, 2,000 and up to
5,000 lb. All-stainless-steel construction enhances cleanability and ease
of maintenance for chocolate manufacturers. Phone (800) 391-0009;

BREAD DIVIDER
The MECAFLOW divider from
Mechatherm SA is specially designed for portioning baguettes,
Parisian breads, batards, sandwich
breads, etc. A patented calibrating
system forms a large, thick strip of
dough. The unit divides dough pieces in consistent shape and weight
that are then moulded on one or
several MECAFLOW moulders. It is
also possible to not mould the dough
pieces, making bread from dough
pieces directly from the divider. The
MECAFLOW process eliminates the
need for extraction or extrusion that
can modify and damage the dough.
The dough does not stick or require
much flour dusting. The limited
amount of applied flour allows a perfect moulding process, and the seal
resulting from the curling disappears
completely. The divider uses little or
no oil. Phone +33 (0)3 88 47 43 00;

SELF-LEVELING PADS
Kofab offers a wide range of selfleveling pads for conveyors, tanks,
table platforms and miscellaneous
equipment. Most LP2000 series pads
are complete with anchoring holes.
All leveling pads are constructed
from 304 stainless steel, which results in better load and pullout ratings and will not become weak or
crack when welding threaded rods
to the pads. Phone (515) 295-7265;

CENTERLINE ADJUSTMENT
Hinds-Bock's tool-free spout centerline adjustment feature speeds changeover
from one package to another. The operator simply pulls the lever and slides the
spout to the new centerline. Match marked gauges take the guesswork out of spout
location. The Hinds-Bock PLC control system uses a recipe-driven
operator interface that changes depositor settings by simply entering a
recipe or SKU number into the operator interface. Product changeover
time is greatly reduced, eliminating
the need to make multiple depositor
adjustments. Phone (877) 292-5715;
