Overview
The Quick Release Screw is an ideal solution for the food industry, designed specifically for the conveying and metering of granular and powdered ingredients. Made from 304 stainless steel, it ensures compliance with hygiene and sanitation standards, making it suitable for transferring various food products such as flour, sugar, powdered milk, spices, and other dry food powders. With customizable inlets and outlets, the system can be adapted to meet specific processing requirements in food manufacturing.
Working Principle
In the food industry, the Quick Release Screw operates based on the Archimedes screw principle. Products are fed by gravity into the screw conveyor, usually from a hopper or discharge station. The food materials are transported through a spiral tube by the heavy-duty Archimedes screw, which is powered by a gear motor. The motor can be connected to a frequency converter for precise speed regulation, making it suitable for dosing applications where accuracy is essential. The screw's pitch is engineered to provide steady material flow, ensuring that food products are conveyed without compression or degradation.
The design also incorporates pressurized bearings, which prevent food particles from entering the bearings, ensuring cleanliness and prolonging the operational life of the equipment.
Applications in the Food Industry
The Quick Release Screw is perfect for use in various food processing applications, including:
Flour Conveying: Transferring flour from storage to processing areas without contamination.
Sugar and Sweetener Handling: Suitable for granular or powdered sugar, and sweeteners like powdered cocoa or icing sugar.
Powdered Milk: Efficient and hygienic transport of powdered milk or dairy ingredients.
Spices and Seasonings: Conveying ground spices, herbs, and seasonings in bulk quantities.
Other Food Powders: Transporting other food ingredients, such as starch, salt, and additives.
This equipment ensures that food ingredients are transported hygienically and efficiently, meeting the demanding standards of the food industry.
Advantages for the Food Industry
Hygienic and Sanitary: Made from 304 stainless steel, the system meets the strict hygiene regulations required in food processing environments.
Accurate Dosing: The ability to regulate speed through the use of a frequency converter ensures precise dosing, especially for applications requiring specific ingredient amounts.
High Capacity: With a discharge capacity of up to 53 cubic meters per hour, the system can handle large volumes of food powder.
Easy to Install and Remove: The quick-release design makes it easy to set up and disassemble for cleaning, ensuring quick turnaround times and minimizing downtime.
ATEX Compliant: The system meets safety standards for use in environments with potential explosion hazards, which is crucial for certain powdered food products.
Durable and Low Maintenance: The pressurized bearing system prevents contamination and ensures long-lasting performance in demanding food processing environments.
