Pneumatic Conveying Systems and Equipment

MAPL’s Continuous Mixers are highly versatile and reliable. Guaranteed to achieve increased productivity and consistency of dough thereby creating a quality product.

Industrial Automation is the core strength of MAPL. Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), Supervisory Control & Data Acquisition (SCADA), Instrumentation & Programming Software like Visi-Windows, Genesis, Intellution etc are used for gaining complete Control over Process & Equipment in Automation bringing in excellent Pay Back benefits. An well-automated project does not need human supervision over Equipment & Process operations & eliminates all possible human errors & staff training due to staff turnover. The Process becomes very accurate, yielding consistent Product Quality & Material Usage.

Automated systems acquire Process Data & Parameters & record them by continuously Batch wise, Line wise, Equipment wise etc. The acquired data can be shared SQL ERP System for conducting Yield Analysis, Production Rate, Productivity, Material & manpower usage etc. System generates alarms & can Page or send SMS message to the supervising staff on critical process events. Through Distributed Computing architecture (DCS), all the managing staff can access the system. The Redundant PLC system offers insurance over PLC failure possibility.

All ingredients such as HVO, palmoline butter, lecithin, water, chemicals, pulverized sugar, broken biscuit are charged in the pre-creamer and creaming is done by starting the high speed agitator, wiper and circulating pump Pre creaming can be done in two minutes and transferred to either continuous mixer or batch mixer for dough preparation.

Food items like bakery products such as bread, cakes, biscuits etc. colas peanuts, chikki, beer are given a brownish colour by adding caramel. Caramelisation causes changes in food not only in colour but also flavour.

Caramelisation is done by melting sugar at high temperatures followed by boiling which converts sugar into glucose and fructose. Normally the temperature at which caramelisation takes place in between 110 deg. C to 180 deg. C depending on the type of sugar. Commercial Caramelisation is produce by heating sugar in the presence other ingredients which results in caramels of different colours which can be used as additives to food.

Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (HVO) needs to be mixed with Palmoline and then dosed into the Dough Mixers. MAPL has developed PLC based system whereby correct quantity of HVO and Palmoline are taken by the PLC into the Dosing Tank. After stirring the mixture is pneumatically pumped to the process demand center. The PLC is programmed to handle multiple process demand centers each of them operating with different recipes. The PC mixes and pumps out correct quantity as per the running recipe at the process demand centre.

MAPL's Liquid dosing system handles multiple passive Liquids used in Foods industry-like water, HVO Butter, Palmolien, HVO + Lecithin Glucose, Milk Solution etc. Accurate dosing of each of these liquids is important to achieve product quality and consistency. This is achieved by drawing light quantity of each of them from the respective manifold one by one into a pressure vessel mounted on Load Cell. Finally the Liquid mix is dosed into multiple mixers running on different recipe. Accurate dosing and record of liquid used by batch by product is maintained by the system. System offers convenience and pay Back. Accuracy of ± 100grams over 70kg. is achieved
