Consistent cereal production depends on getting the right ingredients to the right point in the process, at the right rate. Rospen designs weighing, dosing and materials handling systems for cereal manufacturers, covering everything from bulk flour and sugar intake to the addition of larger granular ingredients such as wheat grain.
Cereal recipes can combine powders and granules that react differently during storage, feeding and mixing. Rospen’s high accuracy weighing belts and vibratory feeders enable uniform feeding of larger granular ingredients, ensuring accurate product mixture and good product flow prior to the packaging process.
We specify equipment around the ingredient, required feed rate and position in the production line. This helps manufacturers manage ingredient proportions while keeping material moving efficiently between process stages.
Gentle Transfer of Fragile Products
Fragile cereal products need careful handling to help preserve their shape and minimise breakage. Rospen has designed and installed pneumatic conveying systems for these applications, taking account of the product’s characteristics and the route it needs to travel.
Whether a product is moving between production stages or towards packaging, the conveying system must deliver it where it is needed without unnecessary damage or disruption to the line.
Rospen has significant experience handling raw ingredients such as flour and sugar. Our projects include silo storage systems, alongside conveying, sieving and dosing equipment that prepares and delivers ingredients for the next stage of production.
Storage, transfer and dosing can be treated as a single process and systems can be designed around the layout of the plant and the use of the ingredients. This holistic approach enables reliable supply of ingredients to the process and facilitates materials management along the line.
Dry ingredients such as flour and sugar can create combustible dust hazards, making the requirements of each installation an important part of system design. Many Rospen raw ingredient handling projects involve ATEX certification, and we have experience designing equipment for Zone 20, Zone 21 and Zone 22 environments.
From silo storage through to conveying and dosing, we take the material, process and site requirements into account when developing a suitable handling solution.
