MANY food companies are familiar with the time-tested innovations from equipment manufacturer Heat and Control, with its lines of conveying, food processing, weighing, and inspection systems.
The FastBack conveyor for instance which was introduced in 1995 remains a leading brand in horizontal motion conveyors. In 2022, the company introduced a 4.0 version which aims to set a new standard in conveying as it features a rotational drive motion that produces a horizontal motion, and addresses the maintenance and hygiene issues that come with conveying.
With growing consumer awareness on healthy snacking, the popularity of air frying to produce low fat snacks has also taken off in recent years. Heat and Control’s AirFry System was designed to reduce oil content in food products.
Meanwhile cost efficiency is a feature of the Masa Maker™, a corn masa making system which can create masa without water usage.
These are just some of the company’s offerings to a food processing sector that seeks to raise profitability amid overlapping crises and shifting consumer behavior.

In an interview with FoodPacfic Manufacturing, Mr Ricky Ong – Asia Sales Manager, Heat and Control Pty Ltd, shared some of his insights and observations in the business that he has been familiar with for years:
Forecast for the food sector in Asia
Many countries around the world are dealing with the combined effects of the pandemic, and global geopolitical conflict which are causing economic instability, and increased inflation. This includes the Asia pacific region, which has seen consumers face price hikes on most essential purchases – including food and beverage products.
To manage the price hikes, consumers are now actively seeking more affordable products and value-for-money options. As product affordability becomes increasingly important for both consumers, and the brands who make these products, Heat and Control is committed to helping food processors navigate the tough market conditions.
