A Solution for Powder dosing Challenges
In the food manufacturing industry, hygiene is not just a standard; it’s an absolute necessity. Whether working with flour, salt, sugar, or protein powders, food manufacturers face many challenges in preventing contamination during powder handling. These powders are notoriously tricky to manage, often clumping together, attracting moisture, and requiring stringent hygiene protocols to avoid contamination and waste. Food powders, while integral to countless products, present several challenges in a manufacturing setting.
Common Challenges in Powder Handling
- Bacteria Growth: Trapped residues can provide breeding grounds for harmful bacteria.
- Cross-Contamination: Mixing powders from different batches can compromise product integrity and safety.
- Clumping and Blockages: Powders can easily clump together, leading to feeding inconsistencies and production delays.
- Extended Downtime: Traditional feeders often have hard-to-reach parts, requiring extensive cleaning time and causing unnecessary production stoppages.
Quick-Release, Easy-Clean Screw Feeders
Addressing these pain points head-on, Trantec has developed an innovative Quick-Release screw feeder system that maximises efficiency while mitigating the risks of contamination. Through extensive collaboration between our engineers and client feedback, Trantec has engineered a feeder system that tackles these key concerns.
A Design Built for Efficiency
One of the primary issues that food manufacturers face with traditional screw feeders is the complexity of cleaning. These machines often have awkward crevices, hard-to-reach areas, and parts that are difficult or time-consuming to dismantle. This leads to extended cleaning periods, impacting overall production efficiency. Trantec’s Quick-Release design revolutionises this process. With their easy-clean system, operators can fully disassemble the feeder in under two minutes without needing tools. All food-contact parts, including the auger, agitator, shaft seals, seal housings, and sleeves, can be quickly and easily removed, allowing for thorough cleaning with minimal downtime. This means that manufacturers can spend less time cleaning and more time producing.
