- Reduced waste
- Increased efficiency
The problems the customer was facing
The system of the food manufacturer was leaving the skin of the sardines fragile, frail and disintegrated due to the dehydration occurring after the cooking process.
This affected the sales of the product, as customers are more selective when it comes to the quality and visual aspects of the sardines. Because of this, the food manufacturer couldn’t achieve the desired and suitable value price for the sardines.
The solution
Automated process
The customer required a solution that would allow for remote control of the spray system, enabling the spray to be turned on and off as needed. They also sought to automate the spraying process in a way that was both effective and efficient.
An additional requirement was precise control over the quantity of oil being sprayed, ensuring an appropriate droplet size to evenly coat the sardines without excess waste. This was important to help maintain the integrity of the sardines’ skin.
Results of the SETOV-C
To meet these needs, the SETOV-C +SP series nozzle was recommended. This model is particularly well-suited for coating applications in the food industry. Its adjustable spray width and pattern made it ideal for regulating the olive oil flow.
Furthermore, the SETOV-C nozzles are equipped with a pilot valve, which supports the automation of industrial processes. After testing the system themselves, the end customer was satisfied and proceeded with the full installation of the nozzles.
