Under assembly in our workshop: storage tank with CIP system

Storage tank in a conveying and bulk packaging processing line for mushroom powder.

Downstream of an atomization tower is a fluidized bed which feeds a venturi valve with mushroom powder. A dense phase pneumatic transfer system VFlow® 02 conveys this powder to the storage tank.

The storage operation in this "buffer" tank prevents the atomization tower from backing up. The mushroom powder storage tank can be cleaned in place (CIP) with cleaning nozzles. The design includes a sloping roof guaranteeing optimum water drainage.

Several more types of equipment are downstream of the CIP storage tank: rotary airlock, centrifugal sifter, magnetic bars and a pneumatic powder sampler.

A FlowMatic® 02 bulk bag packaging system completes the process.
