FCD unveils Roastinstep
continuous Roaster
Hiperbaric launches new
HPP Automation machine at
SIAL Paris 2022
FCD is releasing a
new roasting machine,
Roastinstep. The commercial
1T per hour machine will
be installed in April at the
Fontanes processing facility
in France. Suitable for nuts,
seeds and beans, it uses
four times less energy, by
recirculating some of the
heat it produces. Progress
has also been made on
upgrades compared to
traditional roasters, such
as the electrical heater and
air extraction system, which
contribute to the versatility
of the machine, allowing
different types of roasts and
more flavours.

UNIQUE SELLING POINTS
•Uses four times less energy
•All parts made from stainless
steel
•Accessible for inspections to
ensure best practices and reduce
contamination risk
Its latest technology promises to increase productivity,
cost savings, traceability and operator safety.
The company has more than 20
years of experience in design,
manufacture and marketing
of High Pressure Processing (HPP)
industrial equipment for food
and beverages. It also designs,
manufactures and supplies tailormade,
flexible and personalised
solutions for automating HPP
equipment. These services cover
automation, material handling and
industry 4.0.
As a post-packaging process, HPP
requires packaged products to
be loaded into baskets, which is
often done manually. Pre-feeders
and robotic unload solutions allow
manufacturers to make this process
more efficient, while also reducing
heavy loading, which can result in
injuries and labour costs.
Material handling is known to
be tedious, labour-intensive
and repetitive. Companies can
therefore optimise production,
improve efficiency, and promote
operator safety by using custom
carriers, carrier carts, elevators,
turntables, tote-dumpers, prefeeders,
and dryers.
RFID tags and Data Matrix codes
placed on the HPP baskets can
help manufacturers track inventory,
automate setup, and provide strict
traceability and reliability, ensuring
that all products are processed.
Throughputs can also be increased
with shaker conveyors, robotic
case packers, and robotic pick &
place systems. After HPP, shaker
conveyors remove the excess
water on the packaging. Robotics
can then pick single or multiple
items to pack single or multiple
cases per cycle.

UNIQUE SELLING POINTS
•Maximises production productivity
by increasing throughput, production
line speed and efficiency
•Reduces overall labour costs by 60%
by moving from a manual batch
process to an automated process
•Increases safety by preventing
operator injuries that could occur
with manual, repetitive movements
