Heat and Control will build a new Spray Dynamics manufacturing facility located in Union, Missouri, USA.

The new facility will initially employ 50-60 personnel with the ability to expand to over 100 employees in years to come. The building will be located on a 13.32-acre green field site, and the total manufacturing and office areas will be approximately 103,000 sqft (9570 sqm). The project has been engineered by Washington Engineering & Architecture Inc. and is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2017.

Heat and Control acquired Spray Dynamics in 2011 and the last five years has seen significant global growth in demand for coating seasoning and flavoring application solutions. Spray Dynamics has brought to the Heat and Control catalogue the industry’s best-in-class engineering and manufacturing solutions for controlled application of liquid and dry ingredients. This new facility will offer the latest in manufacturing capability, modern office and engineering space, product testing rooms, and also allows for future site development.

A key feature of the new facility is a demonstration/trial center that will provide comprehensive testing capability across a wide range of Heat and Control products. This site offers the ability to test an integrated line of processing, conveying, coating and packaging equipment. R&D teams can perform a complete test start to finish or individually as when required with the direct assistance of Spray Dynamics’ expertise. The center will be approximately 50’Wx75’L (15m x 23m) and features an inspection and instrumentation room for product attribute testing during trials, walk in refrigerator and freezer, and a temperature control system that can mimic plant conditions.
