Lactose pneumatic conveying solution

Eliminate frequent production halts due to lactose buildup with our conveying solution, reducing downtime and labor costs while maintaining product quality and hygiene standards.

Prevents Lactose Build-up in Pneumatic Conveying

The Aeolus Lactose Conveying System from Dinnissen is engineered to prevent lactose build-up during pneumatic transport in food and pharmaceutical manufacturing. This system features a patented design of strategically optimized bends and switches, minimizing friction and turbulence to maintain product flow and integrity. Ideal for dairy powders, whey protein, infant formula, and lactose-free supplements, it ensures continuous operation, reducing downtime caused by cleaning. Integrated into your production line, the system allows for up to 12 additional production days annually by reducing stoppages. With improved flow dynamics, it extends system longevity and lowers maintenance costs, while being suitable for various product types such as powders and granules. Constructed with robust materials, it supports hygienic operations and meets strict industry standards, making it indispensable for food and pharma applications.

Benefits

  • Minimizes production interruptions by reducing cleaning frequency up to 12 times.
  • Increases annual production time by 8-12% with consistent operation.
  • Lowers maintenance costs by preventing piping abrasion and product fouling.
  • Enhances product quality by ensuring continuous, contamination-free material flow.
  • Complies with strict hygiene standards, reducing the risk of bacterial contamination.
