Confectionery

Automation and technology for the confectionery industry

Confectionery production requires advanced systems for raw material management and precise control of the production processes. The PiovanGroup provides complete, customized solutions to automate and optimize every stage of production, from ingredient management to the final product, with a focus on dosing precision and process accuracy.

 

Automation systems designed for confectionery production

Pneumatic conveying systems for food powders are designed to carefully handle sugar, powdered sugar, starch, flavorings, thickeners and other powdered ingredients, with the explicit goal of not damaging the product (product care). Gentle curves and gentle handling technology preserve the original characteristics of the raw materials.

The systems are equipped with state-of-the-art technical solutions to prevent dust dispersion into the environment, such as hermetic collection barrels and dedicated containment systems, thus ensuring maximum cleanliness of production environments and operator safety.

The Group also offers complete systems for processing crystalline sugar into powdered sugar, integrating the best milling technologies available on the market into automated turnkey solutions, complete with conveying, storage and dosing systems.

In addition, the system for handling liquids, such as dyes and flavorings, is designed to ensure the best heat treatment and maximum control of temperatures and viscosity throughout the production process.

In addition, the PiovanGroup acts as a General Contractor and System Integrator, leveraging internally integrated advanced automation capabilities that enable precise recipe control and real-time process monitoring through intuitive interfaces, meeting the specific requirements of the confectionery industry.

 

PRECISION AND CUSTOMIZATION
COMPREHENSIVE EXPERTISE
GENTLE HANDLING

Safety is ensured through ATEX certifications and an engineering design geared toward operator protection.

Storage solutions include ATEX-certified stainless steel silos and big-bag emptying stations with bi-manual safety systems. For liquid handling, the Group's solutions include dissolvers for dye mixtures, thermoconditioned tanks, and specific pumps for different viscosities, with heated piping and optimized recirculation systems.

Flour cooling

Flour cooling

AIR COOLED FOR MAXIMUM SAFETY
Flour cooling is one of the most important processes when it comes to handling powdered ingredients and in particular products such as biscuits, brioche or other bakery products.  

Sieving

Sieving

ROBUST, EFFECTIVE AND EASY TO INSPECT SIEVES
Industrial sieving of food ingredients is essential to ensure the quality of the finished product. This process ensures the correct size of the product in transit and eliminates any contaminants or impurities larger than the sieve drum screen itself.

Dosing

Dosing

ACCURATE DOSING AND EASY CLEANING
In food ingredient handling processes, accurate dosing of powders and granular products is essential. PiovanGroup designs a range of loss-in-weight dosers that guarantee absolute dosing precision thanks to a spherical arc. These dosing machines provide, with reference to the relevant recipe, the correct quantity of raw material that can be mixed or directly discharged into the primary operating machines. It is also possible to create a premix between different ingredients, through continuous dosing.

Supervision and Process Control

Supervision and Process Control

PLANT MANAGEMENT AND SUPERVISION SYSTEMS
As in other industrial sectors, as well as in the food sector, to guarantee maximum production efficiency it is necessary to have complete control of the process, in all its phases.

Dehumidification

Dehumidification

CLEAN, DRY AIR FOR FOOD PRODUCTION
In the food industry, constant monitoring of the relative humidity level of the air is essential to ensure the highest quality of the finished product. Dehumidifying the ambient air with the highest degree of hygiene is crucial for the transport and storage of ingredients such as flour, cocoa, milk and flavourings. With particular reference to hygroscopic substances, it is essential that the product humidity is as desired for production under all environmental conditions.

Transport

Transport

DENSE AND DILUTE PHASE TRANSPORT WITH PRE-MIXING OPTIONS
PiovanGroup industrial conveying systems are developed according to engineering design standards for a hygienic and safe process. These solutions are specifically designed and manufactured for the handling of food powders and viscous liquids, including flour, sugar, cocoa, honey, starch and inclusions. Specifically, the Group's conveying systems also allow ingredients to be pre-mixed during their handling.

Mixing

Mixing

FOR THE PREPARATION OF CREAMS AND CARAMEL
In the food industry, the process of mixing and preparing products such as creams and caramel requires machinery designed with care and experience.   The PiovanGroup designs and manufactures specific preparers for the production of products such as creams and caramel, suitable for powders, liquids and fats.
