Alternative for bag handling
To optimise their production process, Campine sought an alternative to pouring bags of additives directly into a gravimetric feeder. This refilling was a dusty and non-ergonomic affair, all the more so because the bags had to be raised to a higher working level. The stickiness of some products did create a challenge. Also, it had to be taken into account that the feeder is being used for many different products, and that cross-contamination should be excluded as far as possible.
TBMA België has supplied Campine with a bag dump cabinet with blow-through rotary valve, piping and Piab unit for the conveying of sticky products. Pre-testing in the TBMA test room showed that these products can be easily processed with vacuum conveying. Also, a smart solution was invented to prevent cross-contamination.
