Shick's Minor Ingredient Systems are a natural extension of Shick's total system responsibility approach.
For over four decades Shick Tube-Veyor has been designing, manufacturing, installing and servicing systems that allow companies to handle their major ingredients in bulk. In recent years, however, more and more companies have begun to depend on Shick's system solutions for automating their minor ingredients as well.
The quest for greater efficiencies in costs and time is exceeded only by an increasing emphasis on product consistency and quality. Shick's minor ingredient systems provide levels of speed, accuracy, consistency, sanitation, scheduling and reporting that were previously unattainable. Considering the purchasing justifications in labor reduction and accountability, Shick's minor ingredient systems affect more than just production -- they affect your bottom line.
Minor ingredient systems, by their very nature, require more knowledge about products and processes, which is why, even with our years of experience, we continue to learn every day through our full-scale test facility. Utilizing Shick's test facility, in conjunction with our process experience, allows Shick's engineers to learn about your materials before actually designing your minor ingredient systems. It is this experience that provides Shick the essential ability to conceptually develop the best approach and select the proper equipment for your system.
Considering the high demand for precision control within highly regulated markets, minor ingredient systems must do more than transfer small amounts of ingredients to a process. They must provide exact weighments of ingredients with the assurance of repeatability, managed by accurate reports that show recipe formulation and plant inventories. Shick's electrical engineers will design and integrate the supervisory computer, PLC controls, operator interface terminals and the motor control center and interface them with your main business computer, allowing for the most efficient system possible.
