Capacity Upgrade & Modernization
Accomplishments:
Designed and implemented all modifications to upgrade the operation. The MixSys High Efficiency Ploughshare 3D Mixer with Chopper System is utilized along with a spray nozzle manifold for enhanced process performance.
The product is mixed and discharged into a "Stirred Bunker" 4 Screw Mix Ribbon System, which provides continuous, homogeneous movement of the mixed product.
Project Highlights:
- System includes: bulk ingredients receiver system, bulk bag unloading / mixer feed system, stirred bunker, high speed bulk bag filling system
- Provides 3-5 minute 6000 lb. mix cycle times, improved from previous 15 min cycle
- Continuous, homogenous movement during the Bulk Bag filling process
- Increases the quality control, efficiency, and safety
