Inovata Foods Corp., Edmonton, Canada, produces its own pasta and rice entrees under the Discover Cuisine and Bassili’s Best labels. The firm also serves as a co-packer for other frozen entrée brands. The products
(from 10-oz to 6-lb) are packaged in microwaveable trays and are over-packaged with sleeves or cartons, depending on product.

The products are filled into the trays using volumetric depositors from Multi-Fill, Inc. (www.multi-fill.com) and sauce depositors from Unifiller (www.unifiller.com). A combination scale system from Yamato Scale (www.yamatocorp.com) monitors protein deposits. The trays, cartons, and sleeves are made from a range of material structures and are supplied by multiple manufacturers.

Until recently, cartoned products were manually packed in cases for shipment. But when Inovata increased the line speeds in its product assembly area, the company needed to achieve comparable case packaging efficiencies to better accommodate the faster throughput.
