Manual handling - Delfin Pneumatic Conveyors

Manual handling

More and more companies are trying to automate their production processes to increase productivity but above all to relieve the operator of heavy tasks such as the manual handling of ingredients. Manual handling within the production line gives rise to great risks:

  • Possibility of injury from falling and lifting weights
  • Product contamination and waste


The choice of conveying systems for handling materials through the production line can have a huge impact in terms of speed, costs and quality of the final product.

PROBLEMS WITH MANUAL HANDLING

Companies are increasingly striving to automate their production processes to increase efficiency and, most importantly, to relieve operators of heavy tasks such as physical handling.

Manual handling has many disadvantages in production lines:
The main problem of manual handling is product dispersion: it is high and can also create clutter, contamination in the production department and the possibility of operator injuries.

One of the things to consider when choosing the type of material conveying system is the risk of product contamination: with manual handling there is a high risk of product contamination due to the unprotected transport of the material. On the other hand, with regard to the pneumatic conveyor, this risk is zero, since it is a closed system. Simple to sanitise, it is ideal if you want to use different powders that must not come into contact with each other.

PNEUMATIC CONVEYOR: THE SOLUTION

Pneumatic conveyor systems make the process more efficient, safer and more hygienic:

  • They require little space thanks to the use of flexible hoses and can be implemented later thanks to their modularity.
  • They prevent product dispersion and contamination, and some models prevent demixing.
  • Maintenance is minimal and extremely fast and easy to perform because they are systems with few moving mechanical parts subject to wear. Only pure, non-lubricated compressed air is used, which helps maintain optimum transport efficiency.
  • Improved hygiene and safety in departments
  • Fast and simple installation and connection to other processing machines.
