Thermal Processing
The key to thermal processing is repeatability, optimal product uniformity and processing efficiency. Our custom industrial smokehouses, batch ovens, and blast chillers are designed around the product, process and facility. Featuring the most robust sanitary construction and most efficient mechanical design, our fans, ducts, air plenum and alternating dampers work together to enhance airflow, resulting in consistent processing conditions for precise repeatable results.

Filling
Carruthers filling equipment uses innovative technology to solve hard-to-fill product problems. Our equipment is designed to fill non-liquid solids such as meat, poultry, seafood, rice, pasta, vegetables and more. Dry or marinated product can be processed accurately, and without damage. Products considered “hand fill only” can now be processed at a very high volume. View Equipment →
