Shanghai Youwei designed and installed a vacuum conveying system for a food flavoring and fragrance manufacturer. This system efficiently transports flavorings and fragrances to the packaging machine.
Conveying Requirements:
- Destination: Packaging machine
- Conveying distance: 15 meters (including a 3-meter elevation)
- Dosing method: Variable speed and batch dosing
- Frame structure: Stainless steel, with guardrails for heights exceeding 2.5 meters
- Conveying material: Food additives (powder and granular)
Challenges:
- Precise and variable-speed dosing
- Limited ceiling height in the factory
- Potential for blockages in the conveying lines
Solutions:
- Electrical Design: Our dedicated electrical engineers crafted a complete system incorporating high-precision weighing sensors and branded variable frequency drives. This ensures user-friendly operation, enabling both accurate batch and variable-speed dosing.
- Structural Design: We customized the system dimensions based on the client’s specific site conditions, effectively overcoming the space constraints imposed by the limited ceiling height.
- Pipeline Optimization: We meticulously designed the pipeline layout, minimizing the risk of blockages and enhancing overall conveying efficiency.
System Components:
- Vacuum feeder
- Dust-free loading station
- Vacuum conveying pipeline
- Electrical control system
System Benefits:
- Precise Dosing: The system achieves dosing accuracy within 0.2%-0.5% using imported sensor technology.
- Dust-free Conveying: The entire conveying process operates within a closed loop under negative pressure, eliminating dust leaks and ensuring a clean environment.
- Cost Savings: The system’s high degree of automation reduces labor requirements. Additionally, its modular design and quick-assembly structure minimize maintenance costs.
Project Outcome:
Shanghai Youwei’s vacuum conveying system is now fully operational at the food production facility, demonstrating a conveying efficiency of 4 tons per hour. This system effectively addresses the client’s production needs.
Case Summary:
This case study showcases how Shanghai Youwei’s vacuum conveying system can overcome various challenges encountered in flavoring and fragrance conveying, including precise and variable-speed dosing, limited ceiling height, and potential blockages. This system proves to be an ideal solution for food flavoring and fragrance manufacturers.
