System for feeding dough machines in the bakery industry

Project Scope

One of the greatest needs of our client was a project with total and automated control integrating the feeding of the three french bread and sweet bread lines.

All plant control takes place through the supervisory system, reducing the need for labor, increasing process quality due to lower operational variability and increasing plant productivity to its maximum production capacity in accordance with project execution.

Process analysis:

• Reception of two types of flour
• Flour weighing
• Flour control
• Pneumatic vacuum transport of flours
• Storage and dosing of micro-ingredients
• Micro-ingredient weighing system
• Pneumatic vacuum transport of micro-ingredients
• Admeasurement, filtering and feeding of kneading machines

Big-bag reception module Comprising two big-bag unloaders fed by hoist and monorail, with a suction system using a relief filter with exhaust fan and noise attenuator, preventing pollution of the environment after opening the bag.
Flour cleaning and control module Cleaning module with safety sieve and magnetic grid designed for quick cleaning, thus preventing the passage of impurities into the system, we also have the possibility of adapting a insect destroyer, promoting an even higher level of food safety. Transportation takes place by means of screw conveyors and a pneumatic conveying line dimensioned to prevent leaks and any accumulation of product in the line.
Scale for dosing system Innovative concept for dosing scale with synchronized weighing and unloading module, complete with suction system to reduce measurement variability to minimum values, its design speeds up the process and avoids downtime in operation.
Microingredient storage, extraction, dosing and weighing module Composed of electronic dosing scales with extraction and dosing system for variations <1%, buffer silo scale and pneumatic vacuum transport line, preventing the admission of high temperature and humidity into the line.

Our differentials

• Properly dimensioned pneumatic transport system (positive/vacuum) prevents leaks, clogging, excess moisture and limits high temperatures in the line
• Micro-ingredient and flour weighing system delivers minimum variability values ​​in measurements, with modular configuration and easy-to-clean dosing device
• The system design prevents product accumulation points and has calibration points that ensure the high precision required for preparing recipes
• Our know-how ensures that the correct sizing of the system does not result in downtime, with all lines always in full operation.
• We deliver the project in turnkey mode, with equipment manufacturing, mechanical assembly, automation, start-up and training
• We have several systems in wide operation
