Snack Foods
Wright has been supplying equipment to the global snack market for more than 60 years; it remains our strongest single market sector.
Many of our process control innovations such as Flo-Store line balancing, Weigh Wright vibratory weighers, our energy absorbers, our electronic horizontal motion conveyors, electro-magnetic drives with feed-back loops and our high consistency capability seasoning systems originated here. Many are widely imitated, but the depth of our understanding of why we introduced a particular technology remains essential to obtaining the full benefits.
Our product ranges can be broken down into five categories
We design, manufacture, test and install systems to meet your specification and budget. From a single packaging station fed from a hopper, to a 30+ station packaging line complete with on-machine-seasoning with a direct feed automated multi-packing line.
We have experience with all types of snack food
Wright have un-rivalled experience with all Snacks including the latest product introductions following dietary change requirements and products that evolved to meet consumer requirements in emerging markets.
We have recently commissioned lines producing both conventional snacks and a variety of new snack foods, ranging from baked sheeted products, extruded soft centre, multiple oil and powder combination seasonings, dried meats and rice based products. If you have plans for a new product, contact Wright to access valuable technical experience.
