tna intelli-flav^CLS 3 closed-loop slurry seasoning system

tna’s intelli-flav^CLS 3 is a closed-loop slurry (CLS) seasoning system that enhances the homogeneity of the slurry mix. It is suitable for salty snacks, baked snacks and extruded products that require slurry flavouring in a tumble drum.

The system’s spraying technology and control ensures consistency of application to the product. In addition, the fully automated design of the system - including dry seasoning, oil and other ingredients - reduces the need for dedicated labour and simplifies the production line.

Working from bags of seasoning powder and a pressurised supply of oil, the system meters the ingredients to a specified recipe, mixes it using an innovative under-surface mixing head within a double-jacketed, heat-controlled heated tank, then applies the slurry to the products via spray guns.

Spraying accuracy is controlled by a high-performance positive-displacement pump which measures the actual usage of the slurry compared with required levels, adjusting automatically to ensure consistency of application and minimum waste.

The system can alter both liquid and dry powder proportions for specific recipe variations. It can be combined with the intelli-flav^MLS main line seasoning system to ensure snack products are delivered into the tumbling seasoning bed with minimum waste and product damage.
