Challenge:
The food ingredients industry, particularly spice production, faces challenges in achieving accurate and dust-free weighing during the batching process. Traditional methods can expose workers to harmful dust and compromise product quality due to inconsistencies.
Solution:
Shanghai Youwei, a leading provider of powder handling solutions, implemented a fully automatic batching system for a spice production company in Henan, China. This innovative system addressed the client’s concerns by:
- Eliminating dust exposure: The system employs a closed feeding method with a central dust collection system, ensuring a clean and safe working environment for operators.
- Ensuring accuracy: The system combines high-precision screw feeding with weighing sensors and advanced algorithms to guarantee batching accuracy within ±0.2%.
Key Features:
- Dust-free feeding: Utilizes a centralized dust collection system for a clean and healthy working environment.
- Closed-loop batching: Ensures product quality and batching accuracy by operating in a sealed environment.
- High-precision weighing: Achieves ±0.2% accuracy through a combination of screw feeding and weighing sensors.
- Efficient automation: Streamlines the batching process, reducing labor costs and increasing production efficiency.
