Automated Raw Material Handling for Baking and Ready-Mix Products
AZO’s automated raw material handling system supports the efficient production of baking mixes, baking ingredients, breadcrumbs, and ready-to-use mixes. Large, small, and very small quantities are automatically prepared, metered, and fed into the mixer. This allows different recipes to be processed reliably and with a high degree of automation.
Precise dosing and screening for reliable mixing processes
Large quantities are stored in silos and automatically fed into the production process. Vibrating screens remove foreign matter during this process. During dosing, eddy-current screeners with built-in dosing capabilities ensure precise raw material feeding, screening, and deagglomeration. This helps maintain consistent raw material quality and precise dosing for the subsequent mixing process.
Flexible processing of small and very small quantities
Bag-emptying stations also allow smaller quantities of raw materials to be automatically integrated into the process. AZO COMPONENTER® systems collect and dose the components with high precision before feeding them into the mixer. An operator-guided ManDos weighing station additionally enables the controlled dispensing of very small quantities. Depending on the formulations and the number of components, the system can be flexibly expanded to include additional automation solutions for small components.
End-to-End Process Control and Documented Production
AZO’s central process control and visualization system controls and monitors the entire mixing operation. This allows the individual process steps to be coordinated centrally and the manufacturing process to be fully documented. The system can be adapted to the customer’s specific conditions and individual requirements and can be designed and implemented as a complete turnkey solution.
