Three 2,000 LB mixers supply the continuous production line, with one mixer dedicated to preparing dough while the other two prepare appropriate formulations of the four base
fruit varieties.
CO-extruding continuous ribbons of the fruit bars 18 across, the depositor and most other plant equipment was rebuilt or modified by Mr. Henry to his own specifications.
After traveling 300 ft through the packing room three stories above the floor, fruit bars are automatically inverted and bottom cooled in the reverse direction before a second
inversion orients the bars for packing.
Trayed fruit bars require different packaging films, depending on product variety, for standard shelf life of six months across all products. Tiered cooling belts are visible
above horizontal wrappers.
