Founded in 1950, Heat and Control Inc., a world-leading equipment manufacturer and food processing industry supplier, celebrates its 70th anniversary on June 27, 2020. 

Mettler-Toledo Safeline's new X39 X-ray inspection system enables manufacturers of frozen formed burger patties to detect and reject non-conforming products, including both those containing contaminants and those with other product irregularities or defects. 

The new system will force downed bottles to be rejected through a 100% mechanical motion needing no electrical or programming, eliminating down time created by falling bottles.

The new Eagle Pack 400 HC 3-A Dairy system by Eagle Product Inspection meets stringent 3-A standards, including IP69 ingress protection, and is built with sanitary design features based on principles from NAMI, NSF, ANSI and others. 

The new EventCam from SICK brings clarity when unexplained gripping, handling and positioning problems arise, or when unreproducible installation errors or machine downtimes occur.  

Silgan Equipment's new 2D-X2 inspection system uses side-by-side laser beams that scan the top surface of each cap to immediately detect cap tilt and overall cap height.

Heat and Control will showcase a variety of technologies, including Spray Dynamics Single Shell Coating Drum, Ishida Multihead weighers and CEIA metal detectors, for an interactive visitor experience.

Heat and Control will be showcasing its latest innovative snack food and process prepared solutions along with seasoning, coating and conveying, and inspection systems at PACK EXPO Las Vegas.

Frozen food packaging has a job to preserve food from the time it is prepared to the time it is eaten, all the way throughout the product's journey. The packaging helps to maintain original color, flavor and texture and generally more of their nutrients than foods preserved by other methods.

J&J Snack Foods is an innovative national leader in the snack food and frozen beverage industries. To protect product quality, J&J Snack Foods turned to Mettler Toledo Safeline and installed three X-ray systems — one X33 model, and an unusual two-lane X36 model in 2018.
