Discharging and Conveying Sugar
•Discharging and Conveying Sugar
Solutech Ltd of Winsford, Cheshire is a small company operating as a specialist food grade liquid blending contractor, currently dispatching around 12,000 tons of blended liquids a year to the food and beverage industry.
Four years ago, while in their previous facility, they purchased a 'Spiroflow' Flexible Screw Conveyor in anticipation of a major sugar blending contract. However, at the last minute, the contract did not materialize. As Production Director, Alan Kidd, reflects, "We brought the 'Spiroflow' conveyor with us to this new factory in June 2002 still protected by the bubble-wrap in which it was delivered!" Their luck changed a year later when they won a large contract for several 15 ton batches of sugar related blends a week. The 'mothballed' conveyor was the obvious choice to load one of the sugar elements of the blend into their cavernous heated mixer/dissolver vessel. However, to suit the contract and the layout of their new factor, the Flexible Screw Conveyor was to be fed from Bulk Bags (FIBC's) and the whole unit needed to be mounted on a mobile frame so that it could be moved and parked out of the way after use. To this end. Solutech approached Spiroflow for assistance in adapting the conveyor for its new task.
