Emptying bags was labor intensive.Ingredients go through a dry, then a wet mixing process. Originally, after the dry mixing process, operators manually emptied 55-lb bags of dry mix into the wet mixing vessels before final baking. A typical metric ton (1.1 short ton) batch of dry mix filled 40 bags.
In order to overcome these difficulties, a new bulk solid treatment system is used, including sanitary stainless steel bulk bag dischargers, weight feeder dosing systems and inspection equipments.
Before the weight checking machine was purchased, the system was tested to assess the performance characteristics of the mixture of muffins and chocolate powders with bulk densities of 41 lb./c.ft and 35 lb./c.ft. Both are semi-free flow, the angle of repose between 45 degrees and 60 degrees.
The conversion from the manual dumping of 55 pound packaging to 1 ton of bulk bag's automatic handling has multiple benefits. Improve speed, efficiency, safety and product quality; reduce the number of workers and immune dust.
