When you store products with good gravity flow (wheat, maize, barley, grains, granules, etc.) in flat bottom silos, emptying the last bit of material can be a hassle. In this case you may consider installing a silo sweep auger, designed for silo reclaiming of flat bottomed round silos after material gravity flow has stopped.


<h2>Extract material from flat bottom silos after gravity flow has finished</h2>
The MORILLON sweep auger is designed to unload flat bottomed round silos . This can increase your operating efficiency and alleviates the safety hazard of manually shoveling the residual material. The rotating spiral “sweeps” material to the center whilst the arm completes a 360<sup>o</sup> rotation along the silo wall. Once gravity flow has stopped the auger screw transports material from the residual cone into the central outlet.

The automated system starts up once the gravity flow has finished and ends emptying at a rotation of 360º inside the silo. The type “S” sweep auger is suitable for any granular product flowing by gravity (e.g. grains, seeds, pellets, etc.).

Silo sweep auger

Materials without natural flowing properties are difficult to unload, even with the assistance of gravity. Fibrous, wet, powdery and light materials, amongst others, can lead to uneven unload and wastage or blockage. Because of this innovative silo extraction system you can empty even difficult materials more efficiently.


<h2>Hydraulic screw-action silo unload system</h2>
The Morillon Hydrascrew system uses hydraulic transmission to drive an Archimedean screw. Driven by a directly coupled hydraulic motor, the screw sweeps the cell bottom radius through 360º and ensures extraction of the product on the "first in, first out" principle.

By using hydraulic power rather than electric, the Hydrascrew gives increased reliability and greater low speed torque to handle all material types.

Extraction systems can be customized according to the diameter of the silo (from 2 to 25 meters), and to the complexity of the stored product, giving flow outputs of 20 to 450 m3 per hour.

Morillon booster system for startup means the screw can operate from any position even in full silos thanks to the extra torque delivery. No requirement for specific parking simplifies use and increases efficiency.

Available in a range of configurations to suit all silo types, including conical bottom and in-beam configuration for harsh product environments.

When producing customized flakes, pressed cakes, or other oilseed products, the oilseed preparation value chain differs from one seed to the other. For example, soybean treatment asks for different processing compared to a sunflower seed or rapeseed.


<h2>Cleaning and dehulling seed for further processing in extraction plants</h2>
An oilseed preparation plant by Andreotti Impianti has a specific sequence of activities that meets the specific business needs of the following process plants of, for example, biofuel production. First, depending on the type of seed processed, the preparation plant handles the weighing of the seeds to stabilize the flow at the plant's inlet. The process then continues with removing any coarse particles from the raw material, and further cleaning consists of destoning where stones and other impurities are removed. After this, the material is then conditioned to reduce the viscosity and adjust the moisture content to desired levels. The oilseeds now need to be further reduced in size, which happens by cracking them. Finally, the seeds are dehulled to modify the final meal protein content, leaving a material with a higher protein density.

Take, for example, sunflower seed processing. The dehulling directly impacts the protein levels of the end product for this type of seed. Therefore, there is the option for one-stage or two-stage dehulling, meaning that for the one-stage dehulling, the product contains less than 16 percent residual hulling fragments. The dehulling process can reduce this percentage to 11 percent with a second round, which will lead to an even higher protein level in the dehulled product.

The main goal of the preparation plant is to have the raw material, the seeds ready and modified for further processing by solvent extraction or mechanical pressing. After dehulling, as mentioned above, seeds can be flaked to improve extraction performance for solvent extraction in an extraction plant. In addition, sunflower seed and rapeseed need to be pressed to improve extraction performance. Other process steps in the preparation plant might include milling to homogenize the size of the meal and pelleting for the logistics of the final product.

Cleaning equipment is used to wash or disinfect machinery and the production area. It may also be used to sterilize the product, equipment, tools, or work surfaces and to purify or clean the product by removing impurities. Choosing a suitable cleaning system depends on the type of product or equipment to be cleaned, the sensitivity of the product to heat, pressure, and chemicals, and the level of sterility desired.

Juice production lines require multiple ingredients to be typically mixed with water. The incorporation of ingredients like juice powder, aroma and stabilizers can sometimes have an uneven mixture. It can also happen when mixing pulp, fruit pieces or suspended particles. To obtain even mixing and homogeneity of the finished syrup or juices, they need to be accurately processed and dosed.


<h2>Mixing and dosing powder and liquid ingredients in batch</h2>
The EASY.Core by A Due is a compact dosing system that consists of a double set of mixers and tanks. They can simultaneously or sequentially transfer each ingredient and mixing it to prepare for the finished syrup or finished drink. It can prepare several recipes at the same time and is able to dissolve powders or empty the liquid concentrates. This system provides total and accurate control of dosing and mixing of the ingredients through mass flow measuring instruments.

Mixing tanks for beverages

Industrial mixing is used to combine a heterogeneous mix of two or more solid, liquid or gaseous ingredients into a homogenous product. The choice of a suitable mixing solution depends on the physical state of the ingredients and the desired mixing process; the sensitivity of the ingredients and process temperature and pressure requirements are also important factors.

Flour processing technology has changed drastically since the days of the millstone pulled by a mule. But demand for more refined flour means that the production process is now slower than with more rudimentary techniques. When mixed with water, protein in wheat flour form an elastic gluten structure, giving bakery products their irresistible fluffiness.

Hemp, as a plant, can be used to produce textiles, organic compost, fuel, and even food. The main processes of the hemp seed are sieving, grading, and dehulling or removal of the shell that covers the seeds. For these processes to happen, hemp farmers will need suitable processing equipment. These seeds can be used to create an oil with a by-product known as hemp cake or hemp meal. This by-product is used as a base substance for producing hemp protein powder. It is due to these by-products that the hemp industry is constantly growing globally.

Originally created to supply US soldiers with vitamin C in World War II, fruit concentrate has found many other uses. Whether you want to drink soda or eat gummy bears, you need fruit concentrate for the color and flavor. The fruit concentrate processing line involves fruit peelers, conveyor belts, filters, and evaporators that help producers make fruit concentrate with all of the fruit’s original aroma.

Food powder is the result of drying and pulverizing food. It has been around since the astronauts when out to space. Fruits have a short shelf life and are difficult to preserve due to their high water content.  Fruit powder processing allows you to keep the nutrients of the fruits for a longer time, even off-season.

If you like a warm and easy breakfast, oatmeal can be a great option for you. Oatmeal, most commonly known as rolled oats, is prepared oats ready to consume in a form of porridge or cereal. Other than rolled oats, there are other types of oatmeal - such as steel-cut oats, quick oats, and instant oats. You first need to prepare clean oat groats - the hulled kernels of wild oats, and you can decide which oatmeal processing equipment you would like to set up and depending on the oatmeal of your choice.

If you've ever heard the acronym WFI spoken, know that we're not talking about wireless technology to connect your computer. WFI stands for water for injection, a sterile water used as a solvent to dilute other solutions for injections to the body. Traditionally, WFI was only produced through the distillation process using water for injection equipment until other methods such as reverse osmosis, electrodeionization, and ultrafiltration were developed.

Dyes lend color to the things we consume. The foods we eat, the clothes we wear, and even the keyrings that separate your bunch all have a splash of dye added. Historically, colors were extracted from the natural world, but that process has been replaced by processing technology. Dye manufacturing equipment produces colors that are high in definition and consistency.

Plastic pollution is one of the biggest climate-related problems mankind has. So what are your options? A bioplastic machine can help create an alternative to traditional plastics. Bioplastics, differently from regular plastics, don’t cause environmental contamination. Also, they don’t contain harmful additives. Even with these benefits, the annual production of bioplastics is still less than one percent of all plastic making. However, the market is witnessing steady growth due to a rise in demand.

Despite only one letter difference, silicon and silicone are two different things. While silicon is the 14th chemical element on the periodic table, silicone is a synthetic material that, among other chemical elements, contains silicon. Although commonly observed as plastic, technically silicone is rubber. Among others, silicone processing equipment mainly involves several high-temperature machines, mixers and molds.

Also known as color concentrates for plastics, masterbatches are plastic granules that contain additives for coloring plastics. Their major purpose is to bring vibrance and improve the final product's appearance. In the process of making them, masterbatch production equipment is used to combine two major constituents—colorants and polymer-specific carriers.

Only about 6% of the soy produced globally is directly consumed by humans, typically as edamame beans, tofu, or soy milk.  More than three-fourths of global soy production goes to animal feed. The rest is processed by soybean meal technology into oils or used for biofuels and other industrial processes.

Cotton has been used for about five millennia in ancient civilizations in America, Africa, and Asia. But up until the nineteenth century, cottonseed was not considered a product of value. The first cottonseed oil production started in 1833, consequently forming the cottonseed cake. Nowadays, we know cottonseed meal is a useful by-product for the feed industry and the fertilizer sector.

Pelleted feed

Extruded aquafeed

In aquafeed, you can find three types of pellets: floating pellets, sinking pellets, and slow-sinking pellets, because not all aquatic species eat at the same height of the water column. In the case of bottom feeders such as shrimp, river crab, sea bass, and some species of catfish, they eat sinking pellets. Contrary to tilapia and carp that feeds from the surface with floating pellets. Sinking pellets production must control water stability to preserve the quality and form of the pellets, avoiding nutrients' dissolution in the water.

Sinking pellets

Crickets are better known for their nighttime serenades than for their nutritional notes, but their serious protein content moves them into the category of superfoods. With a light brown color and a nutty taste, cricket protein powder is a versatile dietary ingredient that makes it difficult to go off-tune with your recipes.

Black Soldier fly larvae (BSF or BSFL) offer great nutritional values, making them an excellent alternative protein source for animal feed and pet food. Black soldier fly processing technology has evolved sufficiently to turn the insect into a viable food ingredient. But there is no official authorization for human consumption yet and you are unlikely to find them at a restaurant anytime soon.

The cooking oil in your kitchen could be transformed to biodiesel. Oily biomass such as soybean, animal fats, or recycled grease make excellent feedstocks to produce the alternative transport fuel. Materials are combined with an alcohol in a transesterification reactor that converts the mass into crude biodiesel. The finished product is a low-sulfur, biodegradable fuel that can be used in its pure formulation or in petroleum diesel blends.

Rapeseed oil comes from the seeds of rapeseed plants. You clean the seeds before they undergo other processes to extract oil. There are two methods of producing rapeseed oil: one by cold pressing and filtration, the other by applying heat and pressing the seeds. Add a solvent to the remaining solids and wash it off as the oil goes through further refining processes such as cooling, bleaching, and steam distillation.

Pellet fuel is an alternative to renewable energy sources made from recycled biomass such as wood waste (wood chips and sawdust), wastepaper, agricultural residues (straws, corn stalks, and other residual crops). Raw biomass is usually collected for recycling and pre-treated before being manufactured into pellet fuels to increase its burn efficiency. Pellet fuel is made uniformly in terms of size, shape, moisture, density, and energy content so it is easy to transport, store and feed into heat and power generation units.

Sugar is the fuel that drives photosynthesis in plants. The leafy organisms constantly convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose. But it takes manufacturers specialized sugar processing technology to extract the sweet crystals from them. Today, most sugar products are derived either from sugarcane or sugar beet.

As an alternative to conventional fuels, biogas is produced from the processing of biomass resources as an industrial feedstock. Biogas is a renewable and local energy source that contributes to sustainable heat and power production. Besides making use of agricultural wastes such as crop and forest residues and animal manure, biogas production converts organic wastes from industrial and municipal waste to energy. This is usually achieved by the implementation of the anaerobic digestion process.

The ubiquitous plastic shopping bag was first designed as a reusable carrier. Its inventor, Sten Gustaf Thulin, will have been appalled to see his creation turn into a single-use object. But this disposable tendency is common to all plastic materials, from screw taps to milk carton lining. With plastic recycling equipment, however, plastic waste can be reprocessed and given a second lease of life.
