Seasoning Systems

Repeatability and accuracy are essential to good product seasoning and KMG has for many years been at the forefront of seasoning system for snack manufacturers. Whether you wish to season in the kitchen at ground level or directly above the packing system, KMG has seasoning systems to suit all requirements. At KMG we understand the importance of accurate, repeatable seasoning delivery and our seasoning systems are designed to be robust and reliable.

Overview

On-machine seasoning (OMS) was pioneered by KMG more than 40 years ago, and we have refined and developed it over the years to ensure that we remain the seasoning specialists.  We have designed and built many seasoning systems to feed one or more seasoning drums directly above the packaging system. Most snack food industry leaders have benefited from KMG kitchen seasoning systems to drive production and profits.  We keep costs down by delivering accurately metered seasoning using equipment which is designed to be robust and reliable with ultra low running costs.

Our stainless-steel seasoning coating drums are uniquely designed to ensure even and consistent coating. They feature multiple lift flights, fully welded hygienic construction, with speed and angle adjustment as required.  Our expertise allows us to design the lift flights to perfectly suit your base product characteristics.  Whether your are applying dry seasoning, oil and dry seasoning or slurry, we will design the perfect seasoning coating drum for your application.

In addition, using proprietary software, KMG has developed a unique Loss in Weight system giving our seasoning systems unparalleled performance and unsurpassed user-friendly features.  Have a look at our Loss in Weight page to learn more about how we switch from gravimetric to volumetric dosing.
