Customer Requirements
A famous Pork Pie manufacturer looked to Spiroflow for a solution to improve to the way gelatin granules are loaded into one of 2 mixers.
It is in these heated mixers that the gelatin is formulated into a melted suspension which is pumped away and used to fill into the space between the pork filling and pie casings.
