Spice it up with APS
American Process Systems® offers a complete line of seasoning blenders, ideal for preparing seasonings, spices and herbs. Ingredients can range from spices such as cinnamon, cloves and ginger to more fragile blends containing whole spices and leafy herbs. Seasonings and spices are associated with prepared meat, dry gravy mix, instant sauce, salad dressing, soup bases, and much more.
OptimaBlend® Fluidizing Paddle Blender will maintain the integrity of friable ingredients during mixing even with varying bulk densities and particle sizes. Liquid and solids additions can be accomplished for flavor enhancement and color improvement.
