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.
PiovanGroup has patented electrostatic coating, a state-of-the-art technology for the application of food powders on sweet and salty products. This technology ensures maximum adherence and uniformity of application of powders and particles on all sides of the product.
Storing raw materials while maximising safety levels and minimising the risk of contamination is crucial in all food processes. PiovanGroup designs and manufactures silos in stainless steel or aluminium alloy for the storage of powder or liquid materials, such as flour, sugar, glucose and chocolate. The Group produces ATEX certified monolithic silos.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
SPECIFIC SOLUTIONS FOR SUGAR TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
The PiovanGroup provides specific solutions for the management and treatment of hygroscopic products such as sugar.
More in detail, it designs and manufactures machinery for ambient air drying, conveying, shredding, storage and dosing.
