Roasting and cooling

Choose from modular traditional roasters or our patented rotary roasting system with varied throughputs. We have roasting and cooling solutions to fit all applications, including nuts and seeds. Using forced air combustion modulating burners, our roasters are both efficient and incrementally controllable, giving you the accurate control needed to produce the best product. Roasters are fully insulated and use only robust stainless steel parts.

Touch screen or conventional machine interfaces are available as well as chart recorders and data link. Cleaning systems can be added, as can product de-clumping systems upon request.

Our rotary oven systems use unique rotary technology, gently agitating the product through air, resulting in an undamaged product and a uniform roast throughout. Plus, internal baffling and insulated cases increase efficiency. Our roasters have fully opening sides and easily removable waste collection trolleys, reducing downtime between processes and making cleaning simple and efficient.

Separation systems

We offer a range of separation solutions from cutting-edge optical sorting to multi-deck mechanical shakers, all benefiting from robust, hygienic design and innovative features like quick-release screens. You can choose from several destoning options, all incorporating heavy-duty construction offering years of service life with minimal attention and cost. Aspiration solutions, designed for product separation by density and aerodynamic profile can also be supplied, depending on your specific pre-clean or air separation needs.

Brining and flavour additions

With a wide range of flavour addition options available and a breadth of experience in flavour application, we can help with any coating and flavour application process. We offer a range of accurate systems including:

• Brine mixing
• Storage
• Accurate and reliable powder feeders, including options with ATEX ratings
• Liquid and slurry additions including gum arabic.

Our most advanced feeders benefit from touch screen HMI and state-of-the-art features including chart recorders, recipe menus, a low maintenance design and quick-release breakdown of all elements for easy and efficient cleaning.

Blanching

Over the past 30 years Polar Systems has developed a robust and functional range of blanchers, in varied sizes and throughputs, to suit clients’ budgets and production needs. Constructed to the highest build and hygiene standards, we can tailor a solution to suit your exact process needs.

Handling

We offer handling and storage solutions of bulk products, providing a complete process solution from raw ingredient handling and metering up to the weigh-head.

Control and innovation

Designed for ease of use, you can use our roasters via a touch screen. The control system is designed and incorporated by our expert in-house electrical department and can also include a digital chart recorder, line monitoring with editable line set points and a remote access facility. Remote access and download, as well as supervisor settings, can be locked, preventing changes and with settings obscured for confidentiality.
