In Southeast Asia alone, the snacks market is growing rapidly at 7.4% annually to reach approximately US$50 billion in 2025.
Seasoning with precision and minimising waste are top priorities for snack processors in Asia. At the same time, keeping up with fast-changing flavour trends and meeting strict food safety standards remain constant challenges in the industry.
To overcome these challenges and to beat the competition in a rapidly growing snacks segment, Heat and Control has developed 2 breakthrough solutions: the FastBack® Symphony On-Machine Seasoning (OMS) System and the Spray Dynamics® Symphony In-Kitchen Seasoning (IKS) System. Each is purpose-built to simplify seasoning processes and deliver smarter, cleaner results — with greater accuracy, efficiency, and sustainability.
FastBack Symphony On-Machine Seasoning System
The FastBack® Symphony OMS system was developed in direct response to industry needs — offering integrated ingredient containment and precise seasoning application to help manufacturers overcome challenges with waste, airborne seasoning, and inconsistent coverage. By addressing these key concerns, Symphony OMS supports improved food safety, better working conditions, and boosts overall operational efficiency.
The Most Accurate Seasoning System We’ve Ever Built
As manufacturers increase seasoning intensity and push application rates from 6% to over 12%, traditional seasoning systems begin to struggle — leading to more airborne dust, uneven coverage, and higher sanitation demands.
The FastBack Symphony OMS system is built to meet this challenge head-on, featuring our most advanced seasoning control yet, powered by 2 patent-pending new technologies:
- Seasoning Capture – captures airborne seasoning and redirects it through the product stream
- Seasoning Containment – prevents fugitive dust from escaping into the plant environment
A new cyclone-based dust collection system further reduces airborne particles, improving allergen control, cutting cleaning time, and easing the load on downstream filtration. The result ? Better coverage, reduced waste, a safer workspace and seasoning that stays where it belongs — on the chip.
The following are FastBack Symphony OMS key advantages:
- Seasoning capture technology: draws seasoning back through the incoming product stream for maximum chip-to-chip coverage
- Seasoning containment technology: no fugitive dust, protects operators, and supports allergen control
- Improved efficiency: achieve up to 30% more seasoning on product.
- Reduced load on dust collection filter: up-to 30% less dust in collectors, no fugitive dust
- Reduced labour and downtime: 50% fewer parts to remove, tool-less operation, less downtime, easier cleaning.
- Lower maintenance: expected life of parts is significantly less and no preventative maintenance is required
Built for High Performance, Easy Sanitation
Symphony OMS represents a major advancement in on-machine seasoning, integrating precision engineering and enhanced dust control to address the performance demands of high-speed snack production. Its design supports consistent, accurate seasoning even at elevated application rates and line speeds.
Spray Dynamics Symphony In-Kitchen Seasoning System (IKS)
While on-machine seasoning handles high-volume demands, in-kitchen seasoning presents its own unique set of challenges. Operators must manage complex flavours, allergens, hygiene standards, and labour shortages — all while improving efficiency.
Heat and Control recognises that in-kitchen seasoning is about more than just flavour application. It also needs to reduce waste, enhance hygiene, and simplify daily operations. That’s why we developed the Spray Dynamics® Symphony In-Kitchen Seasoning (IKS) System.
At the core of this system is patent-pending seasoning capture technology, which draws airborne particles back through the product stream, capturing seasoning where it matters most — on the product. The result is better coverage, less waste, and a cleaner, safer working environment.
Spray Dynamic Symphony IKS key advantages:
- More accurate seasoning – integrated load cells and proprietary controls deliver consistent, repeatable results
- Even distribution, no build-Up – FastBall applicator improves coverage and reduces cleaning time
- Fewer parts, less downtime – frameless drum design means faster maintenance and sanitation
- Cleaner working environment – no fugitive dust. Better allergen control and operator comfort
- Lower costs over time – Reduced labour, fewer parts, and better performance add up to long-term savings
Developed in response to the growing complexity of in-kitchen operations, Symphony IKS helps processors achieve consistent results with less waste and effort. More than an upgrade, Symphony IKS is a practical solution for improving seasoning performance in compact, high-demand environments.
Seasoning Smarter for the Future of Flavour
With the launch of these new technologies, Heat and Control is raising the benchmark for cleaner, safer, and more efficient seasoning operations. Whether you’re running high-volume production lines or flexible in-kitchen systems, these solutions support precision, performance, and hygiene — at every scale.
