Milling and food industry
There are needs in both the food industry and flour mills to find ways to carry large volumes of food products, in bulk, powder and granule form, at different stages of the production cycle. There are often problems conveying food where routes are complex and not rectilinear and may not be appropriate for a product that has to be maintained in a whole organic state without any possibility of contamination.
Air-Tec system solutions has the technology to achieve this goal and at the same time give companies a competitive edge whilst increasing their value.
Air-Tec system food conveyor systems allow for the efficient transport of bulk foods like flour, ground coffee or roasted beans, sugar, additives, cocoa, untreated rice, white rice, extracted products, puffed cereals, dried beans, powdered milk. Thanks to the very low speed of transport the quality of the material is preserved until its destination. It also prevents wear on the pipes which contributes towards low maintenance costs at the plant.
Dense phase pneumatic conveyor systems preserve all the properties of food mixtures up to destination.
Semi finished and finished products like puffed rice, white rice and coffee are particularly fragile materials which will retain their integrity and by using small amounts of air or an inert gas like nitrogen the aroma of products like coffee are preserved.
Fat products like powdered milk will flow inside the pipe without clogging.
