Food & Chemicals Handling
Conveying solutions for the food & chemicals industries
Conveying solutions for the animal feed and pet food industries must handle products that are prone to degradation and often dusty, oily, or sticky, including pellets, flakes, meals, or extruded products. Maintaining the product’s intended physical condition is crucial, especially for premium markets. The continuous operation of plants necessitates robust machines with high long-term reliability.
Industrial requirements for handling and conveying foods and fine/speciality chemicals
Contamination-free material transport is paramount in the food industry and for those providing the speciality products that support it, such as excipients, flavours, colourings and other additives. Fine and speciality chemicals for the personal care industry similarly call for hygienic bulk materials handling. The materials conveyed in these sectors may be:
- Flakes
- Granules
- Powders
- Pellets & Pills
For many products it is crucial to avoid physical degradation during transport.
An important trend is to reduce manual handling, creating a requirement for machines that eliminate manual lifting and carrying. Plant is usually housed inside which means that food and chemical handling equipment is protected from the environment.
