New Zealand’s food industry
must ensure it continues to make
appealing food that consumers
crave. Partnering with leading
food processing equipment
manufacturer, Heat and Control,
means you’re drawing on more
than 70 years of expertise
in design, innovation and
manufacturing to stay ahead of
breaking food trends.
The company says that focused
research and development are
essential for developing new
innovative products and efficient
manufacturing lines to enhance
productivity and profitability.
Sales and operations manager
Scott Burrows says that the local
market is primed for new and
exciting products.
“Ready-to-eat products, premium
luxury foods and milk-based
products are where we expect to
see further growth,” Mr Burrows
says.
“While New Zealand has typically
focused on agriculture, food
manufacturers are finding success
with innovative processing and
packaging options that add
value to each serve and healthier
snacking alternatives.”
Working with Heat and Control,
manufacturers of New Zealand
food products can test, experiment
and refine their process in one of
our fully-equipped test kitchens.
Through strategic alliances,
the Heat and Control portfolio
has grown to include premier
inspection, sorting and packaging
solutions.
“We can offer complete processing
and packaging solutions for snack,
processed foods, nuts, packaged
fresh produce and more.”
Future challenges
Most of New Zealand’s lowland
areas are now devoted to food
production. How we produce food
for consumption, sale and export
continues to shape our landscape
and lives. Developing efficient,
sustainable practices is key for
our country where we place a
high value the natural state of the
environment and its future.
Processors have expressed that
high transport costs for domestic
and international transport
reduce competitiveness on a
global scale. Average labour
costs are also higher than in
many competing countries. To
compensate, processing and
packaging operations need to
take energy, resource and cost
efficiency to the next level.
Heat and Control has efficient
solutions offering savings through
oil management, sophisticated
heat reclaiming technologies,
electroporation for a healthier
chip product, multipurpose food
processing equipment, water
efficient innovations in processing,
waste limiting solutions reducing
product giveaway, gentle handling
to eliminate product breakage and
are currently working on a number
of new efficiency projects in 2020.
Industry 4.0 and
automation
World-class controls and vitals
drive world class equipment for
the ultimate in performance and
safety.
“We specialise in scalable controls,
from single equipment to full-plant
systems for today and tomorrow.
“We’ve created the next generation
of smart controls with the look
and feel of a modern app. With
Heat and Control resources, plant
personnel become experts thanks
to situational awareness themes,
advisory notifications, and realtime
vitals that transform ROI.
“Put your entire operation at your
fingertips. Our proprietary and

interface, pre-programmed menus
and clear visuals. Backed by

our systems are designed to keep
every piece of machinery operating
