PNEUMATIC CONVEYING FOR THE

COFFEE SECTOR

During the production and packaging processes in roasting plants, the handling of coffee in its various forms such as green/raw, roasted or ground is one of the most delicate and important phases of the process.

The Delfin pneumatic conveyor system is certainly the most flexible, convenient and hygienic solution for the handling of coffee in its various forms within the production department, making it possible to automate and easily connect the various processing machines, increasing plant productivity by up to 30%.

Our conveyor systems, which are used to carry coffee from one production line to another, guarantee correct performance in terms of quantity, preservation, efficiency and hygiene, taking into account the characteristics that the final product must have.

BENEFITS

Product preservation, avoiding the breakage of the coffee bean
No organoleptic alteration of the conveyed product
Reduction of space required in the production area
High flexibility of use
Minimal maintenance costs

Applications

PNEUMATIC CONVEYING FOR THE

SOLUBLE PRODUCTS SECTOR

The ingredients of instant foods such as dehydrated soups, noodles, creams, sauces and other dehydrated foods are always in powder form and often contain fats, so it is essential to use equipment that is easy to clean and that allows for quick product changeovers.

Delfin pneumatic conveyors are ideal for the transport of soluble products, minimising the demixing potential of each material, maintaining quality, improving productivity and also ensuring the health and safety of the operators.

Delfin conveyor systems meet the industrial requirements of the food industry, such as FDA, CE, ATEX and GMP and allow easy cleaning and quick product changeovers when necessary, reducing production times and costs.

PNEUMATIC CONVEYING FOR THE

CONFECTIONERY AND SEMI-FINISHED PRODUCTS SECTOR

The confectionery and semi-finished products industries must have a defined production process to generate a high quality product:

Precise balancing techniques
Maintenance of constant temperatures in the transformation process
Safe handling and maintenance of product integrity
No contamination from external agents
Final packaging of the product

These activities also expose workers to hazards such as slipping on the floor due to product spillage, as well as the inconvenience of handling manual loads.
The Delfin pneumatic conveyor reduces the risk of product spillage and contamination from the production line, keeping the various materials as efficiently and safely as possible.

BENEFITS

Elimination of risks of operator injury
Fully automated production process
Increased line productivity
Increased accuracy of finished product weight
No product waste or environmental contamination

PNEUMATIC CONVEYING FOR THE

NUTRACEUTICAL SECTOR

The nutraceutical industry is constantly growing. In this sector, pneumatic conveying is essential for the processing of these nutraceutical products:

transferring powders and raw materials with different particle sizes and specific weights to mixers and packaging machines for food supplements, herbal products and functional foods, which have a positive impact on health.

In order to meet the high quality standards in the nutraceutical sector, our conveyor systems handle the different raw materials, while ensuring preservation, efficiency and hygiene, and taking into account the characteristics that the final product must have.

Simple installation, sanitisation, use and maintenance
Unaltered physical and organoleptic properties
No product dispersion and waste (100% packaged)
Reduction of space required in the production area
Healthy and safe working environment

BENEFITS

Applications

PACKAGING OF NUTRACEUTICAL POWDERS

PNEUMATIC CONVEYING FOR

BAKED GOODS

During the pre-cleaning, cleaning and conditioning, grinding and packaging of wheat, the product is subjected to several treatments before being transformed into finished products such as flour, semolina and baked goods.

The transfer of material between the various processing machines is one of the most critical phases of the production process and it is often one of the most important causes of inefficiency.

Product leakage during the transport phases with waste and "polluted" production environments
High frequency of machinery maintenance
Difficult sanitising operations

Pneumatic conveyor systems are the most suitable way to move powders and granules between the different processing machines.
Since pneumatic conveyors use only air for product handling, they are the most hygienic and efficient solution to get the most out of the production line.

BENEFITS

Reduction of product leakage during handling
Product recovery when it is re-inserted into the production cycle
No contamination of the product or the environment
Increased production space
Elimination of maintenance time

PNEUMATIC CONVEYING FOR THE

DAIRY SECTOR

Cheese production requires specialist knowledge, technical expertise and meticulous attention to detail. To avoid contamination, dairy products must be produced with a technology that can reduce the risk of bacterial contamination, and must be sterilised in a cost-effective, convenient and accurate manner.

Foods such as hard or semi-hard cheeses (Parmigiano Reggiano, Grana Padano, Pecorino), pizza mozzarella and curd can be conveyed without the risk of contamination because Delfin pneumatic conveyor systems are easy to disassemble and sanitise and can be configured for the CIP washing procedure to reduce disassembly and the time required for sanitisation.

Maximum productivity at minimum costs
Minimal space required in the production department
Flexibility of use
Easy and efficient product transfer
No product waste or environmental contamination

PNEUMATIC CONVEYING FOR THE

PET FOOD SECTOR

The processing of pet food follows a very accurate and complete process. The need for gentle and hygienic mixing, dosage and transport, as well as more stringent cleaning procedures, require a change in engineering thinking. All this is the result of the design of cutting-edge production lines.

Delfin Pneumatic Conveyors is able to meet pet food production needs and all industry standards, including the most stringent in terms of product quality, safety and cleanliness. Our pneumatic conveyors can feed different process machines such as mixers, extruders, dispensers, packaging machines, etc.

Delfin pneumatic conveyor systems allow for huge amounts of pet food to be moved quickly and effectively without product waste and in compliance with industry requirements. Thanks to their characteristics, our machines increase production, while saving space and above all guaranteeing the safety of those working nearby.

BENEFITS

Fully automated production process
Minimal space required in the production department
Compactness and flexibility of use
No product waste or environmental contamination
Handling of large quantities of material

PNEUMATIC CONVEYING FOR THE

WINE SECTOR

Wine correction is an oenological process historically known and still widely used in today's wine industry. The treatment and stabilisation of wine allows its organoleptic characteristics, colour and consistency to be modified. This process begins when the harvested grapes arrive at the winery, continues during the winemaking process and ends with the final bottling stage.

During stages such as fermentation and clarification, natural powders are usually added to refine and improve the quality of the wine. The powders are easily handled by the Delfin pneumatic conveyor without creating de-mixing, contamination or product waste. A small quantity of powder is sufficient to correct a large quantity of wine and its cost can reach and exceed 300 euros per kg.

Our pneumatic conveying systems can feed automatic or semi-automatic dosing and/or packaging machines, increasing their productivity and efficiency. For all these reasons, pneumatic conveying is the optimal solution for all companies operating in the food & beverage sector.

BENEFITS

Safe and automatic transfer process
Minimal footprint within the production department
Unaltered products or mixtures during transfer
No product waste or environmental contamination
Low running costs
