Little known facts about our sheeting heads and the technology. The Ultra-Flow sheeting head design and engineering was done by FOODesign’s president Joseph Mistretta originally in 1991. The design was the first of its kind to use differential speed. Mistretta was convinced that differential speed would make sheeting heads more accurate in product weight and would allow processors to run lines faster and more efficiently and would ultimately eliminate rear wires on all sheeting heads used for tortilla chips and tortillas. The differential speed design developed by Mistretta has been adopted by most food equipment manufacturers and has now become the standard in sheeting technology. The first design was exhibited at SNAXPO in San Antonio, Texas where it was viewed as one of the most innovative designs to come along in many years.
