Heat and Control is a global specialist in industrial cooking, frying and coating systems for the food processing industry. The company designs and manufactures advanced equipment for coating, continuous frying, baking, roasting and thermal processing, delivering consistent product quality, high yield and efficient energy and oil usage.
Heat and Control solutions are widely used in the production of meat, poultry, seafood, snacks, vegetables, plant-based products and convenience foods, where precise process control and repeatability are essential.
Coating systems
Heat and Control offers a complete range of industrial coating solutions designed to prepare products for frying, baking or further processing. These systems ensure uniform coverage, controlled pickup and consistent product appearance.
Predusting systems
Predusters apply a controlled layer of flour or dry ingredients to the product surface.
- Improves adhesion of liquid batter
- Reduces moisture loss during frying
- Ensures even coating with minimal waste
- Suitable for meat, poultry, seafood and plant-based products
Battering systems
Battering machines apply liquid batters evenly around the product.
- Designed for thin to thick batter viscosities
- Adjustable immersion and curtain systems
- Consistent coating thickness and controlled pickup
- Supports tempura, beer batter and specialty coatings
Breading systems
Breading machines apply fine or coarse crumb coatings.
- Suitable for breadcrumbs, panko and specialty crumb blends
- Gentle product handling to maintain shape
- Uniform coverage with controlled crumb recirculation
- Designed for high-capacity, continuous production
Heat and Control coating systems are engineered to integrate seamlessly with upstream forming equipment and downstream frying or cooking systems, creating a fully automated coating and cooking line.
