Palamatic Process DosingMatic® Shuttle System: Optimization of an imitation crab production line
In the constantly evolving food industry, technological innovations play a crucial role in optimizing production processes. The introduction of the DosingMatic® Shuttle system, developed by Palamatic Process, has brought a significant improvement to the food industry's surimi production process.
This case study looks at the positive impact of this innovative solution on dosing accuracy, process efficiency and end-product quality.
Installation objectives
The aim of the installation is to improve the dosing accuracy of the key ingredients used to make surimi (imitation crab meat): surimi production requires precise and consistent dosing of ingredients such as fish, starch, salt and egg whites. Any deviation in dosage can have an impact on the quality and texture of the final product.
Technical solution
The technical solution is the DosingMatic® Shuttle system, which was designed and manufactured by Palamatic Process, and is specifically adapted to surimi production. The automatic dosing system ensures meticulous control of ingredients, guaranteeing precise, uniform distribution in each production batch.
Implementation
Optimized process implementation: the DosingMatic® Shuttle system works by automatically moving a scale under the 14 screw feeder stations. Each filler is programmed with a specific formula, enabling precise distribution of ingredients. The system's advanced technology eliminates human errors, guaranteeing final product integrity and recipe accuracy.
Results
The introduction of the DosingMatic® Shuttle system offers significant improvements, including:
- Improved accuracy: each ingredient is dosed with rigorous precision, guaranteeing consistency of the final product in every batch.
- Increased efficiency: automation of the dosing process frees up human resources for higher value-added tasks, improving overall production efficiency.
- Time savings: the system reduces production time thanks to an automated, well-calibrated process.
- Enhanced traceability: precise records of dosed ingredients improve traceability, facilitating regulatory compliance.
The implementation of the DosingMatic® Shuttle process line clearly demonstrates its positive impact on surimi production. The precision, automation and efficiency provided by this system pave the way for the production of high-quality surimi in compliance with the most stringent standards.
