Spiroflow Is Reducing Dust And Boosting Production Efficiency

Spiroflow’s remodeled T2 has no horizontal surfaces which reduces dust and particle accumulation while increasing production efficiency and product quality

Spiroflow, a manufacturer of equipment for handling bulk and dry goods, has remodeled its Type 2 bulk bag discharger. The new product will make its debut at FoodEx, taking place March 24-26 at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, UK.

The new Type 2 was designed with angled framework, making it much more difficult for dust and other particles created during production to settle on the machine’s surfaces.  This reduction in dust settlement is beneficial for not only hygienic and quality reasons, but for production efficiency as well.

Product dust, which is generated during the production of a good, tends to accumulate on flat surfaces and requires cleaning in order to maintain quality and hygienic standards.  By eliminating these flat surfaces, the need for thorough clean-downs is reduced, thereby boosting production efficiency while maintaining the necessary production standards.

Spiroflow’s guiding principles in designing its products are dust-free operation and hygienic handling. In the case of the remodeled Type 2 bulk bag discharger, a straightforward, conceptually simple design change is greatly beneficial. In an industry as heavily monitored and regulated as food manufacturing, failure to hygienic and quality standards will give way to big consequences. Any measure that can be taken to reduce the number of potential recalls is likely a worthwhile investment, especially when production efficiency receives a boost from it.

Spiroflow offers a high degree of customization to fit the specific requirement of the client.  Clients can bring their product to a testing facility and see how well the machines meet their unique needs — the T2 bulk bag dispenser is no different. The company’s clients can customize the product to fit their quantities, speed, and product type. This customizability coupled with a dust-reducing framework has the potential to improve efficiency for firms seeking a goods-handling solution.
