Testing
and product development is crucial to the success of our
business, and so we have invested heavily in a new test
kitchen facility, which can feature both stand-alone units
and full production lines. Here we can rigorously test
and trial customers' products in a food factory environment.
In association with our 'in-house' first class chef, we
at D C Norris are able to assist in further recipe development
for our customers. This gives our customers the opportunity
to fully assess equipment before they decide to order.

By introducing our
customers to the test kitchen environment, we can help
them to make the right choices when it comes to food
preparation.
We can supply and install all the
equipment needed to create an efficient food preparation
area, including:
 |
Can
openers - stand alone, semi and fully automatic,
allowing a throughput from 100 to 1000 cans per
hour. Can crushers, wash tanks, water removal and
takeaway conveyor
systems supplied and installed as new or upgrades
to existing equipment |
 |
Fully automated, slatband and
belt conveyor systems |
 |
Work stations and indexing
tables |
 |
A comprehensive
range of mixers
from small pilot plant cutter/mixers to large industrial
models, to slice, mix and transfer ingredients.
They can feature speed control, vacuum steam jacket
and also offer product unloading. This includes
mixers that employ paddles, half blades and ribbons
for gentle blending of volumes from 80 to 3000 litres,
discharging into standard bins or bespoke receptacles. |
 |
Homogenisers
in-line and top-mounted versions, ideal for processing
products such as sauces, preserves or dips |
| |
|
All items in our preparation range
can be load cell mounted, to meter the addition of ingredients
to provide consistent process batches. |

| The test kitchen has
been designed to operate like a typical production
environment. |
