The permeate powder dosing equipment supplied by Powdea has been commissioned at Valio’s acid plant. The delivered equipment dispenses accurately weighed batches of milk permeate powder into the customer’s tri-blender mixer.

Powdea’s delivery package included a large bag emptying system with weighing equipment, a screw dispenser, a screw conveyor to transfer a weighed powder batch to a tri-blender and dosing control automation. Powdea also carried out the necessary modifications to the customer’s tri-blender.Powdea’s delivery package included a large bag emptying system with weighing equipment, a screw dispenser, a screw conveyor to transfer a weighed powder batch to a tri-blender and dosing control automation.

Anti-Dust bag opening mechanism for dust-tight and safe bag handling

The project paid special attention to the ergonomic, safe and hygienic handling of the dispensed powder. The large bag dispenser was equipped with the Anti-Dust ™ bag opening mechanism developed by Powdea, which allows safe and dust-free handling of the large bag. In the opening phase, the sack is lowered by means of a hoist onto a safety arch on the lid of the container, whereby the weight of the sack does not rest on the hoist when opening the knot of the sack. The bottom valve of the bag can be easily and safely opened through the door. After opening the bottom valve, the dust-tight door is closed, making the tank completely tight.

Comprehensive project management service to support equipment delivery

Powdea was responsible for the overall implementation of the project, which included an on-site measurement visit, equipment and layout design, installation guidance, and commissioning and training of the equipment. Powdea also conducted the lifting test of the large bag station required by crane legislation prior to commissioning the equipment.

 

Olio Virtanen, Valio Oy’s production manager for acid production, is satisfied with Powdea’s delivery:

“The project itself and the implementation went smoothly and the users have been satisfied,” says Virtanen.

“The dosing system allows us to standardise our product quality and, with more efficient production, we’ll achieve substantial cost-savings from, for example, reduced raw ingredient consumption and lower labour costs,” explains Henriksson Bakery owner, Kenneth Bärlund.
