The Fabcon frying line is designed to prepare, cook and flavor extruded snack. The dough is Prepared within the processing area before being manually or automatically transported into the cooking area and Introduced into the extruder.

Steps of Operation:

• Firstlythe Product is introduced into the Fabcon supplied Frying Line at Meal Mixer
• Thenthe frying system begins with the controlled introduction of extruded product into the fryer

The Fryer:

• The Fryeris the principle piece of the equipment and has a number of special features which make it especially suitable for Frying Snacks
• Thesnacks dough is extruded into the fryer infeed flume at the Infeed end of the fryer pan. The snacks is propelled by the oil's velocity along the fryer Infeed section. The snacks then enters the fryer pan where submerge portion of the fryer conveyor holds the Namkeen beneath the surface of the cooking oil as it is conveyed through the cooking zone
• Thisensures that the snacks are evenly cooked prior to being removed from the cooking oil by the De- oiling conveyor. The cooked snacks are conveyed along the fryer to the discharge end where any excess oil drains from the product and falls back into the fryer pan
• The Fryerhas a hood over its cooking area to contain steam, hot air and cooking fumes and then direct these into a stack for removal from the factory with the aid of an extraction fan (a mechanically powered hoist system to provide access to the pan for cleaning). The fryer Infeed flume and fryer inlet header each have an inlet jet at the Infeed end with a flow adjusting valve, Which gives maximum control to the oil flow rate along the pan

Transfer Conveyor:

• The transfer conveyor carries the cooked product along the length of the conveyor and up to the tumble drum
• Operators may inspect the product whilst it is on the surface of the conveyor belt and physically remove any defective pieces

Tumble Drum and flavor Applicator:
The cooked, cooled and oil free product is discharged directly into the rotating drum. A series of longitudinal flights catch the cooked product and gently tumble them within the drums interior. As the pieces are being tumbled, flavoring is dispensed through the extended auger tube of the flavor applicator.

Dry flavoring:
The dry flavoring is applied to the product as it passes through the drum. An extended auger tube transfers the flavoring from the flavoring hopper into the center of the drum. As the flavoring exist the apertures of the auger tube, it is distributed equally over the product.

Slurry flavoring:
The slurry for flavoring is prepared by the specially designed Kettle system which maintains a suitable temperature for proper mixing of oil and spices. The kettle system consists of twin kettles(depending upon product capacity) for mixing and maintaining a continuous flow of slurry to the flavoring drum.

Soaking Conveyer:
The seasoned product is then conveyed to the Soaking Conveyor where it is allowed to cool in the presence of ambient air, thus giving it sufficient time to absorb the seasoning properly.
After following all these steps the finished products are moved to the packing line and is ready for dispatch.

The FABCONsextruded snack process and bake line is specially designed to prepare, bake and flavor extruded snacks. With the help of few different types of equipment incorporated in a manner that an online system can be created which can produce extruded bake snack in a continuous motion saving precious time and money.
Meal Mixerproduces a mixture of raw materials added in desired ratio/recipe and then Screw Conveyor transfers the mixture to the Extruder.
Extruderthen extrudes the mixture into the desired shapes.
The extruded shapes are then introduced intoThe Bakingoven where the product is baked maintaining the desired temperature and moisture.

The baked product is then conveyed into the Flavoring system where the flavor coating is done over it using our state of the art seasoning system, which provides perfect coating of the seasoning over the baked product.
The complete product now can be packed as per requirement.

FABCON also provides the intermediate conveying solutions like conveyors for the product conveying in between or the bucket elevators for feeding the product over the packing machine and storage silos etc

Introduction:
Our Bucket Elevators provides a perfect and a fast paced solution to convey any granule products and feed it into the desired area of operation like packaging or storage etc.
The elevator provides optional multiple discharge system, which allows you to deliver the product to more than one location., In that manner the Bucket Elevator is an elevator cum full fledged distribution system.

Features:

• Food Safe.
• FDA certified.
• Completely Modular Design
• Easy to Operate.
• Easy Cleaning and Maintenance.
• CNC/Laser cut finish for fine detailing.
• Completely build with SS 304
• Glass Bead Blasting Finish.

Operations:

• The Bucket elevators are completely modular and specially designed to meet the basic needs of a food manufacturing industry. Conceptualized and fabricated with precision laser and C.N.C cutting with no scope of error.
• Made out of 3 and 4 MM sheet of Stainless steel or Mild Steel (Powder Coated) along with food grade Poly-Propylene Buckets (Patented) which are available in the sizes of 2.5liters and 4.5 liters with an additional feature of customization if required.
• One of the best feature of our Bucket elevators is its precise and small foot print of 1600X500MM which ensures maximum productivity with minimum space consumption.
• No spillage from the feed point due to special alignment bucket feature which ensures the un-necessary wastage of the conveyed product.
• The down time for bucket removal and refitting is hardly 10 seconds which allows fast changeover without hampering your daily production line.
• We also provide optional excess overflow collection system to assure a complete transfer of the product without any wastage.
• The Bucket Elevators structure is fully enclosed with no un-necessary human or foreign touch.
• Our Bucket Elevators provides multiple drop system so that a single elevator can be used to convey the product to multiple points at the same time, condition being the drop points should be collinear to each other.
• Easy to clean and service as we provide an optional pneumatic cleaning system: Air Knife for the buckets which dry cleans the elevator buckets during its operation so that precious production time can be conserved.
• Auto speed control to prefixed level has been provided for easy cleaning.

Specifications:

• We provide the Bucket Elevators in these Standard Variants:

  • C- Type
  • F- Type
  • Horizontal Type
• The basic or minimal dimension required to construct a Bucket elevator is :
  • Bottom length: 1600MM
  • Height: 2360MM
  • Top horizontal length: 1900MM

The flavor decides the success of a snack product in the market. The flavoring application requires perfect blending of the seasoning over the snack food product to give it a perfect taste. Fabcons flavoring system provides a highly efficient and time saving system that makes the process a hassle free experience. The system provides online automatic continuous flavoring with precise dosing of slurry for various snack food products. Options of different equipments like scarf feeder and drum profiles are provided suitable as per the product nature and seasoning application. Very fine control on the seasoning dosing is possible for desired product taste and quality.

Operations :
The cooked, cooled and oil free product is discharged directly into the rotating drum. A series of longitudinal flights catch the cooked product and gently tumble them within the drums interior. As the pieces are being tumbled, flavoring is dispensed through the extended auger tube of the flavor applicator.

Scarf Feeder-A Sytem for fine spreading of flavored powder over a bigger area in tumbling/flavoring drum, providing more scope for the product to absorb flavor better and maintaining a homogeneous taste through out.
