Food producer uses pneumatic conveying system to handle 20 tons of baker’s-like flour
New system increases safety, efficiency and energy savings with new pneumatic conveying system.
When Brian Miller, plant engineer for Mrs. Miller’s Homemade Noodles Ltd., which produces 40,000 pounds of noodles per week, switched from handling 50-pound bags of flour to handling 2,000-pound bulk bags, he knew he would need to integrate a new conveying system into his process. The former conveyor—an older, pressure-based system that transported the flour from a hopper through a volumetric feeder and finally to a mixer—would no longer satisfy the company’s needs.
Mrs. Miller’s Homemade Noodles Ltd., located in the middle of an Amish community in Fredericksburg, OH, is a family-owned and operated business that has produced preservative-free, homemade-quality products for over 30 years.
