TEST STATION: Vacuum conveying tests for cracked biscuits

Biscuit breakage metering test for feeding a powder vacuum conveyor

Vacuum conveying system tests were carried out in our test station.
The tests involved cracked biscuits from a biscuit factory manufacturing process.

The objective was to convey these pieces of biscuits with a powder vacuum conveyor system and to control the extraction and dosing. Among the bulk handling systems used to carry out these tests: vibrating sieve, buffer hopper, lump breaker, flat-bottom anti-bridging device and dosing unit (agitator arm and dosing screw).
