Bmh food applications
- 1. The world leader in serving science Bulk Material Handling in the Food Industry
- 2. 2 BMH Product Application in the Food Industry • The Bulk Material Handling solutions: • Belt Scales • Weighbelt feeders • C-Levels • Microwave Point Level
- 3. 3 BMH Product Solutions • Control process / blending • Weigh products to provide information on how much material is being processed • Control feed rate to provide accurate blending of materials in final product • Improve efficiency • Minimize product waste or over/under production • Maintain product inventory levels • Quality products with little to no downtime • Cost management • Manage inventory • Continuous information on product inventory levels to support production planning • Inventory management, provide trigger when inventory levels get low
- 4. 4
- 5. 5 Conveyor Belt Scales • Series 10-101-R2 Dual Module Belt Scale System with slider bed • Weighing baby carrots • Other applications: • Potatoes • Sugar beets • Any bulk product
- 6. 6
- 7. 7 Weighbelt Feeders: Cereal • Weighbelt feeder • 120 lbs/hr to 900 tons/hr • Capable of +/-0.5% accuracy • Blend materials • Control cereal flow to downstream filler
- 8. 8 • Low capacity weighbelt feeder • +/-1/2% Accuracy • Cocoa Powder • Solutions custom designed to meet Customer requirements • This version use plexiglass panel (to avoid contamination from the top) that can be easily removed for air cleaning. Belt Weight Feeders: Cocoa Powder
- 9. 9 • Solution also allows operator to clean with air but, thanks to the panels net, cannot access to moving parts so respect standard for safety Belt Weight Feeders: Cocoa Powder
- 10. 10 Weighbelt Feeder: Carrots • Low capacity weighbelt feeder • +/-1/2% Accuracy • Carrots • Designed with special slider bed to contain product
- 11. 11 Weighbelt Feeders: Blending of several products for pet food • Low capacity weighbelt feeder • +/-1/2% Accuracy • Blending products for pet food
- 12. 12 Weighbelt Feeders: Blending of several products for pet food
- 13. 13 Weighbelt Feeder Applications • Weighbelt feeder applications • Spinach • Cocoa • Candies • Carrot • Cereals • Onions • Peaches (cube) • Flakes • Nuts • Puffed Rice • Nuts • Mushroom (powder) • Pasta • Tortelli • Tea • Beans • Rice • Spinach • Beans • Frozen vegetables (cubes)
- 14. 14
- 15. 15 Where in the process • Where in the process • Pre-packaged portion of process • Processed and semi-processed food • Bulk materials entering a process • Blending of products • Inventory / Production control • Who we work with • Plant Supervisors and Engineers • Operations Managers • Maintenance Engineers • Process Engineers
- 16. 16 Process Maps – Fruit / Vegetables • Inventory Management & Storage – C-Level • Process Control – Impact Weigher • Blending & Feeding – Weighbelt Feeders • Weighing – Belt Scales
- 17. 17 Process Maps – Cereal Manufacturing Plant • Inventory Management & Storage – C-Level • Process Control – Impact Weigher • Blending & Feeding – Weighbelt Feeders • Weighing – Belt Scales
- 18. 18 Process Map – Coffee Manufacturing • Inventory Management & Storage – C-Level • Process Control – Impact Weigher • Blending & Feeding – Weighbelt Feeders • Weighing – Belt Scales
- 19. 19 Quality and Accuracy Matter! To provide the best weighing or inventory monitoring solution to the customer, three items need to be considered: • First, what is the value of the commodity being weighed? • Higher value material generally requires greater weighing accuracy. Material Value Tons per Year Cost of 2% error Cost of 1/4% error $2.00/ton 1,000,000 $40,000 $5,000 $100.00/ton 1,000,000 $2,000,000 $250,000
- 20. 20 Quality and Accuracy Matter! • The second consideration is the price range and the customers’ budget • It obviously will be difficult to sell a $20,000 device into a $10,000 budget • On the other hand, if $20,000 is available, why settle for reduced accuracy. As seen in previous chart and in most cases, the cost of the scale is returned in a very short time in production accuracy and minimized downtime.
- 21. 21 Quality and Accuracy Matter! • The third consideration is the competition • Many competitors will attempt to sell a lower accuracy scale based on price alone! • Knowing the application and true accuracy requirements will assist in making the correct determination for system proposals. • Leverage the value of Thermo Fisher quality, application experience and aftermarket support!
Editor's Notes
- Dual module 10-101-R2 IDEA Scale with Slider Bed Bottom left photo you can see how load cell module is mounted under conveyor idler to provide weight of material on conveyor above. Bottom right photo shows how scale weighbridge is mounted on conveyor stringers, load cell under silver cover in center of weighbridge and idler mounted on weighbridge.
