This system was to be located in a new facility, allowing the company to expand operations and be closer to the customers of the final packaged product.
The Solution
S. Howes designed the system and worked closely with subcontractors who provided several ancillary components. It was designed to handle 5,000 lbs of flour and minor ingredients, which were blended for five minutes per batch. 50 lb. An operator loaded bags on a mezzanine designed to hold three pallets. The product was mixed, sifted, and pneumatically conveyed into a hopper for staging before being loaded into an automatic bagger.
The system was erected at S. Howes’ facility, where the customer inspected and approved the equipment’s quality and functionality.
