Hosokawa Micron food-processing solutions meet the needs of today’s market

Hosokawa Micron food-applications manager Frank Bernero explains the company's innovations.

For accurate, efficient food-processing solutions that produce high-quality ingredients and goods, manufacturers rely on Hosokawa Micron. Available in Canada via Firing Industries, these devices satisfy today’s market demand for ready-to-eat foods with the taste and texture of freshly prepared meals – mixing convenience with high quality every time.

Food & Beverage Technology Review recently chose Hosokawa Micron as one of its top ten Food Processing and Packaging Tech Consulting/Services Companies for 2019. The magazine ran an interview with the company’s food-applications manager, Frank Bernero, on Sept. 2.

Innovative design and superb engineering

Bernero told the publication that Hosokawa Micron’s customers need advanced food-processing solutions that make ingredients that offer the characteristics of fresh meals. The company uses innovative design and superb engineering in a broad variety of equipment for milling, classification, mixing, drying, agglomeration, compaction, or containment.

“We are always setting new standards for consistency, durability, and efficiency with our leading powder-processing technologies,” said Bernero. “Our devices have stood the test of time. Some of the equipment and systems that were installed decades ago are still being utilized today.”

Hosokawa Micron has been developing innovative food-processing solutions with maximum production flexibility for close to a century. In the 1960s, the company introduced the Mikro-ACM air-classifying mill, the first device of its kind; this product has delivered guaranteed, accurate fine fractions to meet client specifications and product characteristics for decades. Another example is the Mikro Air Het Sieve MAJSx2, a highly accurate and reliable particle-size analyzer for verifying material quality, process control, and final validation. “It can also be utilized to determine the average particle size below a specified cut point and verify that a powder top size does not exceed product specifications,” Bernero told the magazine about the MAJSx2.

“We are not just an equipment manufacturer, but also a solution provider,” said Bernero. “Our tenet is not just to offer standard powder-processing equipment, but to work alongside out customers… to provide value-added services.” With the help of Firing Industries, Hosokawa Micron continues to do exactly that.
