Provisur Technologies
Brian Perkins, vice-president - global product management at Provisur Technologies, said the company is focused on offering complete line solutions; from processing to cooking and freezing. Among the equipment on display at Gulfood was the newest slide plate forming machine in its Formax range, the NovaMax500. Perkins said the traditional slide plate technology had been upgraded and the new model offered rotary forming technology. The machine features a pivoting product hopper, which Provisur said delivered better productivity, as well as a one-piece pump box which it claimed was easier for cleaning. It can be used for red meat, poultry, pork, and fish, and is capable of producing up to 6,000lb per hour. Provisur was also showcasing a number of its coating machines, which can be used for tempura batter or coatings for fried chicken for example.
