Dry Snacks Processing

Popcorn, peanuts, or pretzels; crisps, crackers, or cereal bars – no one can resist a tasty snack. With our many years of hygiene expertise, Vikan can help keep your customers coming back for more.

The global snack food market was valued at 427.02 Billion USD in 2020 and is projected to grow significantly. Dry and low moisture snacks, like crisps (or chips), cereal bars, and dried fruit are popular and convenient snacks in many parts of the world. Maintaining the quality and integrity of these products is key to ensuring consumer satisfaction and safety and that’s where Vikan can help.

Whether your dry snacks are sweet or savoury, maintaining them at optimum quality requires careful control of moisture throughout production. Excess moisture in the production environment can lead to poor product quality, spoilage, and waste.

Vikan are experts in dry cleaning and support some of the world’s largest dry (and low moisture) snack manufactures. Our comprehensive range of manual cleaning tools - including brushes, dustpans, scrapers, and microfibre mops and cloths, provide all you need to facilitate both dry and controlled wet cleaning in your dry production environment.

Vikan Insights – Dry Snacks Processing

Suggested Products for Dry Snacks Processing

Dry snacks processing requires strict adherence to sanitation rules and regulations. Tools from Vikan are made out of tough, compliant materials such as polypropylene and stainless steel. Unlike foamed plastic or wooden tools, our high-quality products have smooth surfaces for easy clean-up and better hygiene.

Our tools are hygienically designed, which makes them easier to clean and less likely to harbor bacteria.

Vikan tools come in up to twelve colours, making them ideal for integration with colour-coded plans. Colour-coding helps prevent cross-contamination between raw and finished products, as well as keeping allergens separated.

Regardless of your operation’s size and complexity, Vikan has the tools and expertise to help you execute your colour-coding plans.
