MAPL's pulverizer sugar handling system uses a bag tilting mechanism to load sugar into a hopper of a vertical screw conveyor. The sugar is pulverized and pneumatically conveyed to a cyclone separator and thereafter to the assigned mixer. Alternatively it can be stored in silo in large quantity. In either of the designs, the system is totally controlled by the PLC.

Benefits of Sugar Pulverizer :-

• Dust free and noise free operation.
• Fully automated with manpower saving.
• Accurate and hygienic charging.
• No human errors as weights controlled PLC.

MAPL has developed a system to prepare continuous sugar syrup with its sugar handling system. Bag filter and screw conveyor are used to convey sugar into the silo. The PLC controlled sugar handling system very minutely discharges sugar and water in an accurate proportion continuously to the first stage electrically heated stirring tank. The overflow from the first stage goes to the second stage heated stirring tank and overflow from second stage goes to the third stage heated stirring tank. At the third stage tank the correct and continuous dosage of inverter is taking place. Thus at the third stage sugar syrup attains correct temperature and quality. The overflow from the third stage is taken into fourth stage water cooled coil tank. At this level we achieve correct quality and cooled sugar syrup. The sugar syrup is then pumped through a filter into tile overhead storage tank. The system is energy efficient as the power required is 50% of normal operation since tanks are insulated and incoming feed water is preheated.

Benefits of Inverter Syrup Sugar Solution :-

• Automatic and continuous process.
• Consistent product quality achieved.
• Clean and hygienic environment.
• Sugar solution is ready all the time.
• Increased productivity.
• Cost saving achieved.

Continuous Mixing is a process in which dough is mixed without interruption. Streams of dry and liquid ingredients are fed accurately and continuously into the mixer. The ingredients are wetted and pre-blended before entering the mixer. The dough is worked as it moves down the length of the cylinder. At the discharge of the mixer, fixed-size loaves of dough are cut continuously and moved to the downstream equipment arriving at the correct time in the correct size.

MAPL who are pioneers in the field of industrial automation and manufacture of machinery for various bulk handling systems like flour, sugar, liquids,etc. have come out with yet another system for accurate and continuous mixing of the dough mainly for biscuit, bread, cookies and confectionery industries. This can also be used in dairy, chemical and pharmaceutical applications.

Benefits of Continuous Mixer :-

• Increased Productivity.
• Consistent product Quality.
• Cost Saving archived.
• Reduced wastage.

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.

Benefits of Pre-Creamer :-

• Power saving.
• Time Saving.
• No. of mixers required are reduced.

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 brining in excellent pay back benefits. A 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 continuously batch wise, line wise, equipment wise etc. The acquired data can be shared by 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.
