While the mixing and blending of liquid ingredients into a liquid product is an exact, controlled process, combining dry ingredients has unique challenges that have been difficult to control with automation. Finally, sensors and automation are here to help.

At the press of a button, the conveyor moves materials and ingredients from the integrated hopper at floor level up to discharge fast, gently and safely at a constant flow rate without clogging or degradation.

A solid double ribbon agitator, powered by a 7.5 HP TEFC motor, delivers blending at speeds up to approximately 47 RPM with variable speed control down to 5 RPM.

The facility supports a range of production capabilities — from premium ice cream novelties to bulk formats and custom dairy formulations.

Two tulip-shaped intensifiers, each independently driven by a 5 HP (3.73 kW) wash-down duty motor, impart additional shear to break down agglomerates and disperse tough-to-blend materials.

Featuring the same proprietary deagglomeration and size reduction technology as the larger Nibbler GNB 530, the Nibbler GNB 250 was devised to deliver consistent particle size reduction at high throughputs in tight spaces and/or at low volume.

Suitable for processing dry powders, granules, pellets and fragile or friable materials, it is used across industries, including food and bakery, nutraceuticals, coffee, spice blends, agricultural products, plastics and chemical powders.

Vacuum conveyors offer a hygienic, low-energy way to transport powders, granules and other bulk solids.

This guidance provides the agency’s current thinking on establishing a routine sanitation program for low-moisture, ready-to-eat foods that can help prevent pathogen contamination events and also sets forth recommendations for corrective actions.

Selecting the right feeder features can mitigate challenges, improve process efficiency and enhance operational safety.
