Industrial Storage Systems

A biosafety cabinet is an enclosed, ventilated workspace for safely working with materials potentially contaminated with pathogens in the laboratory. A laminar flow bench is an enclosed space designed to prevent contamination of sensitive samples; it draws in air through a HEPA filter and directs it smoothly towards the user to protect the sample from contamination. The choice of a suitable biosafety cabinet or bench depends on the type of sample and the defined biosafety level ranging from 1 (unlikely to cause disease) to 4 (causes very serious human or animal disease).

Biosafety cabinets

Drying cabinets consist of an enclosed chamber where products to be dried are placed on stainless steel trays. These drying systems reduce the relativity humidity allowing the moisture to evaporate quickly. Cabinet dryers are widely used for reducing the moisture content of sensitive products.

Drying Cabinets

A silo stores your bulk material and keeps it safe from exposure to air and other elements. Traditionally built with a conical base, contemporary silo structures are also available in flat-bottom designs. Weighing and extraction technology may also be used to manage a silo system.

The most important part of a capsule is its contents. But if the shell is not carefully made, the dosage ingredients inside lose effectiveness. From molding to sizing, capsule manufacturing equipment forms perfectly-matching husks ready for filling. The simplicity of encapsulation revolutionized pharmaceuticals since it was introduced in the 19<sup>th</sup> century. However, capsules are changing to increase delivery efficiency and reduce the dependency on gelatin.

With the increase in the world population and rising concerns for environmental sustainability, the market for suitable new protein sources is expanding rapidly. Traditional agricultural methods alone can’t deliver sufficient protein to meet the projected food demand over the next decades. Insects provide an alternative source of nutrients. But insect protein does not mean direct insect consumption. Extracting protein and amino acids from farmed insects is more sustainable and efficient. Specialized insect protein processing technology is driving the transformation toward new protein sources.

The nearly 5,000 known minerals on earth share some characteristics to be classified as minerals – they are inorganic, solid, naturally occurring elements and have a particular chemical formula and an ordered internal geometric structure. However, minerals are not all the same. One way to divide them is based on their physical characteristics such as hardness, luster, color, and shape. For example, the diamonds we use to make jewelry are very hard minerals while talc is a soft mineral; gold is a shiny mineral while others are less so.

Minerals

We carry dozens of metals around every day. The ubiquitous smartphone is built with no less than 20 metals, each with specific behaviors and purposes. Metals are a pervasive class of materials that have defined entire eras of human development. It is no exaggeration to say that metal processing equipment is the core of our metallic world. But, paradoxically, this manufacturing technology itself is mainly made of metal.

Metal

Ceramics are defined as inorganic and non-metallic materials. Tthey are typically brittle, hard, and elastic as well as resistant to heat and corrosion; in fact, after shaping them into the desired shape, they are heated in an oven called kiln at very high temperatures (1,000 °C to 1,600 °C). Kaolinite and aluminum oxide are the best-known examples of ceramics.

A cheeseboard demonstrates the different possibilities that milk and dairy can take. There are hundreds of recognized cheese recipes worldwide, but the main ingredients remain the same: milk, fermenters, salt, and time. Cheese manufacturers combine these elements to craft unique flavors, aromas, and textures. Advanced cheese making equipment provides better control over these elements to create ever more diverse cheeseboards.

Almost all manufacturers will require industrial storage systems and solutions at some point during their production process. The raw materials that go into your products need dedicated storage solutions to protect them from spoilage and contamination before they enter the manufacturing cycle. Storage usually refers to particular storage space. For example, having enough warehouse storage. Or clearing out a production facility for more floor space.  However, in this case, we are referring to the equipment and solutions that make storage manageable and easier. Such equipment includes solutions such as storage racks, pallet racks and shelving systems. These are just some of many storage options available to manufacturers. Advanced technology facilitates the management of heavy duty and high density tank and silo systems by automating the delivery system and linking it with the rest of the production line.

Biotech equipment is used for cellular and biomolecular processing to develop products that improve our lives and the planet. With the help of specialized lab equipment, the active substance is manufactured or extracted from biological origin materials and typically produced in bioreactors by plant cells, microbial cells, yeast cultures, or mammalian cells. Cell isolation, cultivation, cell banking, and culture expansion are called upstream processes. After harvest, the production process moves into a downstream process to meet purity and quality requirements which is divided into cell disruption, purification, and polishing. Biotechnology equipment makes use of various laboratory machinery such as bioreactors, centrifuges and incubators.

When looking for capping equipment, it is crucial to know first which type of capper your product requires. Do you want screw caps, twist-off caps, hand pumps, or push-pull caps on your bottle or container? If you require different cap types for format changeover times can be time-consuming. The bottle cap seals the top opening of a bottle to guard the product against leakage and spoilage and sterility and filling requirements depend on the nature of your product.

Capping

Filling lines are used extensively in all industries, such as food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and cosmetics, to accurately package different products into a container suitable for that product. Although the filling process is at the very end of the production line, it is no less important than the earlier steps. Last but not least, the idiom that dates back to 1382 when John Wyclif wrote the firste the laste, and the laste the firste, indicates just that the last things on a list are just as valuable as the previous ones. In this case, this idiom fits perfectly.

Filling

Commencing ophthalmic production requires sterile conditions and accurate metering when filling and sealing eye-drop containers.
<h2>Fill and cap eye-drop bottles with high-quality rotary filler</h2>
The MI-O series by i-Dositecno is designed for start-up installations and is able to fill larger bottles of up to 80 mm diameter at speeds of 3,000 bottles per hour and smaller bottles, up to 26 mm diameter, at rates of up to 6,000 bottles per hour.

With up to 4 heads, it can dose 1 to 500 ml of ophthalmic liquids into the bottles. Filling options include peristaltic, stainless steel rotary, ceramic rotary or CIP/SIP rotary pumps. Totally built in AISI 304 stainless steel, the dispensing nozzles are smooth with the special rugosity required for handling sterile products.

Caps are introduced by servo-controlled pick and place and then screwed on using a pneumatic system. The quality detection system rejects any empty or partly filled bottles as well as any uncapped bottles.

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

Pelleting equipment transforms powdered, mashed, or grounded material into a denser cylindrical shape. Pellet processing compresses the fine material against a perforated die, where it will be shaped and cut. Although granulating and extrusion also produce pellet-like products, manufacturing pellets is a distinct process.

Pelleting

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.

Safe transfer of liquids and hazardous powders into systems can be a challenge in pharma, biopharma and chemical industries. That’s because the slightest possibility of exposure or spillage could cause cross-contamination. Butterfly valves are expensive and clumsy to operate. Technicians require a better solution that is cheaper, faster and easy to operate.
<h2>Disposable Transfer System for Safe Powders and Liquids Transfer</h2>
Ezi-Dock EZI_FLOW™ CSV4 all-plastic valves are a simple, effective solution for transferring liquids and powders in the pharma and biopharma sphere. Their innovative design delivers the ultimate combination of high containment and low cost. They are suitable for reactor charging, extruder charging, powder filling lines and many other applications.

The operator offers up a charge bag containing liquid or powder to the EZI_FLOW™ all-plastic valve. They turn a toggle lever next, to securely attach these parts together. After they have achieved a contained seal they release the charge bag contents through the valve.

Rarely used bulk ingredients, like grains, agricultural feed or silage, can get spoilt if they are left in the silo for too long. You thus need a fast and flexible dosing solution that allows raw materials to be replaced without having to use a silo first, reducing the number of dosing positions.


<h2>Efficient and contamination free dosing containers</h2>
KSE’s ALFRA FCCD uses the distinct exchangeable dosing containers, also referred to as ‘dosingtainers’ instead of traditional silos. Its applications include, the dosing of premix, animal feed, pet food products that contain a large amount of raw materials etc. The use of dosingtainers, limits the number of dosing steps needed. This allows quick and contamination-free dosing of even small quantities of materials. These containers have a no drive mechanism which allows the dosing slide and other equipment to connect automatically on the machine frame with a forklift. Thus, it can automatically combine ingredients from up to 24 dosing containers making them ready for production faster.

The exchangeable silo dosing system has a unique design, making full use of a large slide range. It has two weighing scales on one holder. Larger quantities are dosed directly into the large weigher, whereas smaller quantities first go into the small weigher. It can thus dose any quantity ranging from 20 grams up to 100 kilograms very accurately. It also allows extremely fast changeover times between products. It is also configured with an in-built extractor which ensures zero cross-contamination and a sanitary workplace.

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.

Industrial cleaning equipment is used to wash or disinfect machinery and the production/warehouse area. It may also be used to sterilize the product, equipment, tools, floor 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.

Cleaning

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 equipment is used to combine two or more solid, liquid or gaseous segregated ingredients into a homogenous single product. The choice of mixing technology depends largely on the physical state of the ingredients and the desired final product. But the sensitivity of the ingredients, the process temperature, and pressure requirements are also critical factors. All these parameters result in a wide range of industrial mixers.

Mixing

Bentonite is a clay derived from the alteration of volcanic ash. Bentonite is solid, so after extracting it from the deposits, it has to be crushed and dried to reduce its moisture content up to 15%.

The waste oils from cooking in your kitchen could be transformed to biodiesel. Oily biomass such as soybean, animal fats, or recycled grease make excellent feedstocks to produce high quality 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 fuel blends.

Biodiesel

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 implementing the anaerobic digestion process in biogas plants.

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 ingredients and 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.

Black Soldier fly larvae (BSF or BSFL), also known by its scientific name, <em>Hermentia Illucens</em>, offer great nutritional values, making them an excellent alternative protein source for animal feed and pet food. Black soldier fly technologies have 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The rapeseed flower evolved high concentrations of substances that are anti-nutritive at best and toxic at worst. But new varieties developed in the 1970s lowered the content of glucosinolates and erucic acids. From then, the use of oilseed rape spread to several applications, from edible oil to biofuel to animal feed. Rapeseed oil processing technology has thus become foundational to industries spanning food production, energy, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

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.

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.

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.
