This is our vision. Our mission provides more detail: Fueled by employee life transformation PacMoore will
strategically establish global food processing centers in low income communities to provide jobs, food, and
hope. We believe the transformative impact of our vision and mission on lives will be so large it will be hard

In order to achieve this kind of impact, it is imperative that we execute our strategy which is to delight our
customers again and again by consistently providing the food ingredients they need, on-time and on-spec.
This can only be done by establishing and maintaining an environment where our people are passionate
about growth, understand how to optimally utilize our assets, and execute with excellence. We forge a

come to us for their food contract manufacturing needs they in turn become partners with us in creating
sustainable jobs both in the U.S. and abroad.

LOCATIONS
PacMoore Corporate Headquarters
Our headquarters in Hammond, Indiana is our original location where we started in blending, packaging,
re-packaging and sifting dry goods. Since then we’ve added product development as well as consumer
packaging into cartons and pouches.
PacMoore Process Technologies
Our second location in Mooresville, Indiana was built to satisfy the customer need for more volume in blending,
packaging, re-packaging and sifting. PacMoore has also been able to add more technical capabilities such as
spray drying and extrusion.
PacMoore Innovation Lab
Built in Gridley Illinois in 2015, the Innovation Lab houses our newest technical capability of product
development for extrusion. Led by Certified Food Scientist Jon Baner, the possibilities we can provide for our
customers in extrusion are endless.
PacMoore Uganda
In Uganda PacMoore has employed hundreds of people with fair wages on an amaranth farm. Amaranth is an
ancient grain which has been growing in popularity across the globe. This product is unique because of its high
protein content and because it contains all 9 essential amino acids. Through our work in Uganda, we seek to
build communities, transform lives and feed the world through sustainable jobs. Thanks to this project, families
have solid roofs on their homes and their children are going to school.
EXTRUSION
Innovation Emphasis
On June 22, 2015 the PacMoore Innovation Lab in Gridley, IL was opened. This site was designed with our customers in
mind – to offer product development support by utilizing our Wenger TX-57 twin screw pilot extruder and PacMoore’s
own Jon Baner – our Senior Technical Manager, a Certified Food Scientist, and a guru in the field of extrusion.

Production Mindset
Our full scale Coperion 120 mm twin screw extruder has been installed and operating at our Mooresville facility since
December 2016. The Gridley extrusion pilot facility provides an entry point for customers to develop and validate
products before they move to the next step of full scale production.

SPRAY DRYING
Full Scale
Our GEA designed full scale spray dryer can process a wide variety of product types without ignoring efficiency and cost effectiveness.
We will use the liquid blend you send us or that we can create for you, feeding it into the system using either a rotary atomizer or a
high-pressure nozzle system. A primary cyclone collects and discharges powder that is passed over a sifter and magnet before
packaging. Our spray dryer has a nominal water evaporative capacity of up to 3,000 pounds per hour with a 400°F inlet temperature
that can be raised up to 500°F. After completion, our CIP system and trained operators lead the charge in thoroughly cleaning the
system for the next production in line.
Key equipment breakdown:
• Agitated liquid storage tank – 9,000 gallons
• Reaction liquid blending tanks – 900 gallons
• Heat exchanger
• Breddo liquefier
• 2 stage high pressure homogenizer
• VFD rotary atomizer
• CIP system
Small Scale
For product development projects, PacMoore also offers its GEA (FSD™) 4.0 pilot spray dryer. The system has a
nominal water evaporative capacity of approximately 50 pounds per hour making it easy to cost-effectively
validate products before moving them into large runs on our full-scale system.
Key equipment breakdown:
• Bi-fluid spray nozzle (various sizes available)
• Fluid bed for one-step agglomeration
CONSUMER PACKAGING
Our vertical and horizontal form, fill and seal systems (VFFS & HFFS) deliver accurate filling for a variety of powders or
particulates such as grains, pasta, nuts, or candy by utilizing augers, cup fillers, and combination scales. Flexible pouches
are formed in-line with a variety of optional features including gussets, zippers, and tear notches. Taking it a step further,
PacMoore’s cartoners allow us the ability to pack pouches or direct fill powders into pre-printed cartons.
Types of Consumer Packaging PacMoore Can Form and Fill:
•
•
•
Vertical Form, Fill & Seal (VFFS) Pouches
Horizontal Form, Fill & Seal (HFFS) Pouches
Cartons – fill with product directly or insert a pouch
BLENDING
Our blending system designs are born from years of experience. Engineered for speed and precision, our industrial mixing
equipment ensures homogeneous finished blends and the ultimate in food safety.
Plow Blending
As a true industry point of differentiation,
PacMoore operates 4 full-scale industrial size
plow blenders. The unique action created by the
movement and geometry of these specialized
blenders produces a thorough, fully dispersed
intermingling of ingredients. An additional option is the use of high-speed chopper blades that enhance mixing by controlling
particle size while also providing the ability to introduce and disperse fats, oils, and liquids. The result is homogeneous
ingredient blending and tremendous consistency. Typical blend times are only one to five minutes.
Ribbon Blending
If you’re looking for conventional versatility, PacMoore also operates 3 full-scale
industrial size ribbon blenders that provide counter-directional flow while
continuously mixing the ingredients throughout the vessel. The inside ribbon moves
materials toward the ends of the blender, while the outside ribbon moves material
toward the center discharge. The result is a prize-winning production run. Due to a
more gentle and fluid motion and agitation, typical blend times run between 10 to
20 minutes.
Pilot Blending
If you are in need of product development assistance, we also offer pilot blenders (both plow and ribbon) in a stand-alone pilot
lab for test runs and cost effective validation before you scale up to our full-size toll blending equipment.
