Established in 1946, Salina, Kansas-based Repco has provided the enrichment industry with ideas, services and products such as flour oxidation and maturing services, vitamin and mineral premixes, micro-ingredient dispensing systems and on-site field servicing. The division of the company that produces vitamin and mineral premix products decided to look into options for modernizing an outdated mechanical transfer system. The decade-old bucket elevator system that transferred the premixes from mixer to packaging was causing housekeeping and segregation issues, not to mention large amounts of product being lost during clean-out. Repco contacted Coperion K-Tron to look into pneumatic conveying solutions that would clean up the process and ensure the finished blended product did not segregate during transfer to the packaging system.

Vibratory Feeding Technology Gets Sophisticated
CHEMICALPROCESSING.COM
Free-flowing bulk-solids handling can be tricky. You need to ensure a uniform discharge while maintaining the integrity of fragile, friable, abrasive or fibrous materials. Coperion K-Tron has thoughtfully engineered a line of vibratory feeders that achieve high accuracy via patentpending technology. Chemical Processing spoke with Urs Helfenstein, R&D mechanical engineer, Coperion K-Tron, regarding what makes the K3 vibratory feeders different from other feeding technologies.

Top quality grain handling - Artisanal bourbon distillery supports its growth with Coperion K-Tron automated vacuum system for raw materials
Food Engineering
The dedication of Garrison Brothers Distillery to produce artisanal bourbon in Hye, Texas, has resulted in an increase in popularity, substantial growth and a need to increase production. The distillery prides itself on producing a unique wheated bourbon using the finest locally sourced and organic ingredients, some of which are grown right on the distillery property. Keeping true to that culture, Garrison Brothers expected no less from the system to supply those raw materials to the process.

Gravimetric feeders support Eli Lilly's advancements in continuous direct-compression tableting
Tablets & Capsules
Continuous direct compression (CDC) tableting offers several key technical and process advantages over traditional batch tableting processes. First and foremost, it allows the manufacturer to develop a drug product on the same equipment drivetrain that will be used for the product's final manufacture, eliminating process scale-up. CDC tableting also allows for increased quality assurance and requires less production space, which lowers utility and labor costs.

Troubleshoot Your Feeder for Optimal Performance
Bulk Solids Innovation Center Journal
With the uncertainty of today’s unprecedented times and tough global economy, the pressures for proper maintenance, increased longevity of process equipment and optimal performance are higher than ever before. Feeders that are not feeding accurately typically produce off-spec finished products and require extended periods of downtime to recalibrate or fix, resulting in decreased production rates and lost profits.

CIP Reinigung in pneumatischen Förderanlagen - Aufwand reduzieren
dei
Während hygienische Produktionsprozesse in der Lebensmittelindustrie weiter an Bedeutung gewinnen, liegt der Fokus neben dem hygienegerechten Anlagendesign zunehmend auf Lösungen, die bei der Reinigung Zeit, Aufwand und Kosten sparen. Das vollautomatische Cleaning-in-Place kann genau das erfüllen, jedoch müssen die eingesetzten Bauteile wie Zellenradschleusen und Schüttgutweichen dafür konzipiert sein.

Is Your Feeding Technology Robust Enough?
Plastics Technology
Today’s modern manufacturing processes utilize loss-in-weight (LIW) feeders as the automated dispensing technology for dry bulk solids. The most current feeding technologies have evolved in many aspects through improved control and design features with an emphasis on process robustness and intelligence. It is expected that feeder controls can easily connect to industrial networks and key process data, which has become a critical criterion in evaluating not only feeder performance but also real-time indication of the complete process. This article will address what a processor should consider when evaluating his current feeding equipment and the feeder’s ability to monitor, trend and react to process variations.

Production industrie alimentaire : Attention au dosage (in French)
Infovrac N°225 - Mars 2020
La fabrication de n'importe quel mélange de produits alimentaires implique généralement les étapes intermédiaires de procédé de transfert et de dosage continu ou par lot des ingrédients en calculant leur pourcentage en poids dans un mélange. En fonction de ce pourcentage, les matière sont divisées en catégories : majeures, mineures et micros. Que peut-on faire pour améliorer le fonctionnement des systèmes de dosage par lots?
