Spice mixtures in pneumatic conveyor pipes

One of the biggest Indone­sian food com­pa­nies locat­ed in Jakar­ta and with a mar­ket pres­ence of almost 50 years, has devel­oped into a glob­al mar­ket leader of instant Noo­dles. Its tar­get is to achieve this also with all its oth­er prod­ucts such as spice mix­tures and sauces. The company‘s suc­cess was to pro­vide con­sumers with instant meals in typ­i­cal Indone­sian flavours – which is why the spice divi­sion is so important.

Metal inspection at constant flow rate and high conveying speed

When this cus­tomer looked for a met­al detec­tor, he expect­ed this sys­tem to remove metal­lic con­t­a­m­i­na­tions from dry spices inspect­ed in pneu­mat­ic pipes with­out caus­ing any inter­rup­tions of the pro­duc­tion process. For this pur­pose the met­al detec­tor had to be her­met­i­cal­ly inte­grat­ed in the customer‘s pipeline sys­tem in which the spice mix­tures are trans­port­ed at high speed.

Reliable metal detection without interruptions

The met­al detec­tor GF 4000 detects all metal­lic impu­ri­ties and sep­a­rates them reli­ably by means of the „Quick Flap“ sep­a­ra­tion sys­tem with min­i­mal mate­r­i­al loss and with­out a pro­duc­tion stop. In addi­tion, spe­cial­ly devel­oped for mate­r­i­al con­vey­or speeds up to  20 m/sec.

Maximum interference immunity and highest reliability

The reli­a­bil­i­ty of the GF 4000 with respect to detec­tion and sep­a­ra­tion of con­t­a­m­i­na­tions with min­i­mum loss of good mate­r­i­al, the easy instal­la­tion and the high sta­bil­i­ty dur­ing pro­duc­tion were the decid­ing fac­tors for this food producer.
