Conveying Process Technology Tasks in Raw Material Logistics To ensure a consistent quality in production, all process parameters have to be precisely monitored. Reimelt systems ensure this due to sensor technology and control philosophy. Storage and Discharge Raw materials must be stored according to their individual characteristics so that the quality of the end product is not affected. The "first-in, first-out" principle is Reimelt's foremost process technology concept for silo and storage hopper design. Also key is the hygenic design of all equipment parts and elimination of cross-contamination concerns. Furthermore, process parameters such as humidity, temperature and maximum storage time are constantly monitored and controlled. Conveying systems from Reimelt are designed to meet the requirements of the end product. A wide variety of pneumatic conveying systems are available for raw materials, ranging from slow-speed conveying systems for gentle product handling to conventional systems to pneumatic systems utilizing a protective gas. The conveying systems for liquids also follow this design philosophy. Whether it be centrifugal pumps, piston metering pumps or rotary piston pumps, each is utilized according to the proper application. Picture 1: Powdered sugar grinder with integral pneumatic conveying 1 Preparation Weighing and Metering 4 Reimelt has mastered the concept of the batch process as well as continuous processes, and provides the total process technology from a single source - from the components for batch scaling to continuous metering scales. We have the right solutions for the handling of liquids also, whether it is for different product characteristics or required metering accuracies. Volumetric systems, such as metering pumps and volumetric flow meters, or gravimetric components, such as liquid scales and mass flow meters, are all available for intergration into the total system, complete with controls. Tempering, drying, humidifying, homogenizing, sifting, cooling, mixing, grinding and recrystallization: the system solutions from Reimelt encompass the entire range of raw material processing requirements. Systems for the production of plasticized fats and creams complete the performance spectrum.

Raw materials for the production of quality end products are provided "just in time", dependent on the production capacity. If the amounts of product stored is minimized and the raw material handling time is reduced, then the system is naturally more efficient. 5 P r o c e s s Te c h n o l o g y ... for Optimal Product Quality. Liquid Material Storage Dry Material Storage Delivery of Raw Materials Delivery of Raw Materials Dough Mixer Fine Rolling Mill Conches Pre-Rolling Mill Diagram representation of chocolate and chocolate coating production with raw material processing mixing technology, pre- and fine rolling mill as well as conches. 6 The raw materials for the production of high quality chocolates and chocolate coatings are stored in various vessels. Those system components must work strictly according to the "first-in, first-out" principle to ensure high quality. Electronic scales weigh every single liquid and dry component exactly and consistently. The raw materials are metered into the mixer according to the recipe. The contents of the mixer are constantly monitored via weight control in order to ensure an exact batch. A homogenous mass is formed in the mixer and is then sent to a pre-rolling mill or a fine rolling mill directly or via a stainless steel metering system. The chocolate is crushed in these mills to get a consumable chocolate. Stainless steel conveyor belts transport the final mass to the final refining – the conching process. P r o c e s s Te c h n o l o g y Special Processes - Fruit Gumdrops Production Pneumatc Conveying Delivery of Finished Product End Product / Starch Separation Waste Sifting of Starch Starch Recovery/Reintegration Special system for problem-free conveying of fruit gumdrop products with downstream separation and reprocessing of the starch by a Reimelt sifter with patented pre-sifter drum. Picture: Production of a chocolate mixture with direct feeding of a pre-rolling mill In the production of fruit gumdrops, the transport is hygenically conducted by a compact, continuous, vacuum conveying system. The space saving pipe system can easily be integrated into the existing system and building. The end product is received by a specially designed diverting device for gentle transport to the receiving hoppers. The product is discharged from the receiving hopper via a free-flow valve, which allows even long products to be dicharged without any damage. Sifters and other components can be integrated in order to separate the starch from the end product so it can be reused in the process. 7 Raw Material Logistics - Receiving Gentle Handling of Powder and Liquid Raw Materials 1 You begin to profit from Reimelt's Know-how by the maximum flexibility of the raw material receiving. The systems are designed for both a stationary and mobile receiving station. They can be modified according to individual requirements and work independent of the type or dimensions of the containers. Due to sophisticated technology, discharge is practically dustfree no matter what type of packaging is processed. The sifting of the raw material ensures a constant quality control. Conveying is flexible to the downstream storage or processing points. Reimelt systems also set the standard for userfriendly operation: The delivered raw materials are automatically entered into the recipe processing. The handling and amount information can be modified on-site to suit your requirements.

Variations in raw material properties are compensated for by blending the singular batches together, e.g. in a homogenizing silo or pneumatic mixer, to guarantee a consistantly optimal end product. The recipe is controlled automatically, including the supervision of the weighing process. Micro ingredients are weighed either semi or fully automatically. Productivity and capacity are improved due to the fact that multiple recipes can be processed in the same system consistently, from batch to batch. In addition to this, the modular design enables expansion of the system at any time. 3 Picture 3: Minor ingredient storage with precise, fully automatic weighing for a quick batch sequence Picture 4: Rotary sifter for powder products integrated in the pneumatic conveying system 4 Typical Finished Products · Bonbons · Cakes · Cereals/Breakfast Bars · Chewing Gum · Chocolate · Chocolate Bars · Cookies · Coatings/Icings · Crackers · Dragee · Fruit Gumdrops · Gingerbread · Ice Cream · Jellied Fruit · Liqorice · Marmelade/Jam · Marshmallows · Marzipan · Peanut Butter Snacks · Pralines · Pretzel Sticks · Salted Pretzels · Snack Chips · Soft Cookies · Tortillas · Waffels 11 A u t o m a t i o n Te c h n o l o g y Perfect Product Planning for More Reliable Processes.
