Introducing Horizon Systems. We mix innovation into everything we do.

LiDAR Scanning Promotes Efficient Cooler Change Out

3-D Scanning for Cooler Changeout

3-D scanning existing installations can provide equipment changeouts and upgrades that better fit your space and provide less downtime. Recently, Horizon Systems engineers used the process to help provide a cooler changeout for one of our clients.

intelligent ingredient management

Intelligent Ingredient System

Whether you’re working with grains, powders, granules, pellets or liquids, how you handle your materials always determines the quality of your final product.
At Horizon Systems we understand the benefits of a well-managed ingredient receiving and handling solution and the headaches that can occur when materials get mismanaged. When your process demands it, our solutions account for accurate recipe creation and batching, consistency and contamination risks. In many cases, having the right blend of materials is the only way to ensure your product has the consistency, durability and effectiveness you require. Our job is to protect your employees, products and brand.

PVC Compounding Bottom Up Model

PVC Compounding - Bottom Up Model

Horizon Systems’ bottom-up blend system for PVC compounding (as an alternative to a top-down compounding tower) allows for a lower building head height by housing more equipment at ground level, making equipment easier to service.

PVC Compounding - Top-Down Model

PVC Compounding - Top-Down Model

When designing and building a blending system, accuracy is always a primary consideration.

However, in certain applications like PVC compounding, precision can be especially essential to achieve a perfect end product. PVC compounding typically follows one of two blending methods: top-down or bottom-up. While you can achieve a great product with either model, the top-down approach almost always achieves the best result.
