Case Study: Utilizing Pneumatic Conveyors For Flours

New system increases safety, efficiency and energy savings with new pneumatic conveying system.

When Brian Miller, Plant Engineer for Mrs. Miller’s Homemade Noodles Ltd., which produces 40,000 pounds of noodles per week, switched from handling 50-pound bags of flour to handling 2000-pound bulk bags, he knew he would need to integrate a new conveying system into his process.  The former conveyor--an older pressure-based system which transported the flour from a hopper through a volumetric feeder and finally to a mixer--would no longer satisfy the company’s needs.
