About Automated Food Systems
Automated Food Systems, based in Waxahachie, Texas, was founded in 1976 by mechanical engineer Glenn Walser. With a single investor, Walser developed the world's first automated corn dog system after a food processor sought a method to automate production—a challenge others deemed impossible. The company designs, manufactures, and integrates custom food processing and material handling equipment for stick and skewered foods. Its product line includes corn dog systems (3,000–16,000 units per hour), kebab and skewer systems (up to 4,080 units per hour), funnel cake systems, market-entry systems, industrial batter mixers (60–180 gallon capacities), food pumps (up to 223 GPM), and food-grade skewers and sticks. Equipment is built to withstand harsh processing environments and is customized to each facility's space and process requirements. Customers range from small producers to the largest multinational food processing companies, with installations across North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The company serves the corn dog, kebab, funnel cake, and broader industrial food manufacturing sectors. AFS emphasizes service and support for the life of each system, including a dedicated parts inventory, on-site training, plant layout optimization, and custom design and fabrication for unique food automation challenges. The business began with a single problem-solving mission and continues to engineer solutions for unique food processing challenges.
