CGMP POWDER HANDLING - METAL PREVENTION AND DETECTION

Our group provided the structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering necessary to replace an existing mechanical mixer, bucket elevator and transfer screw conveyor distribution system with a pneumatic convey/blending system. The intent of the project was to eliminate mechanical metal producers from contaminating the food grade product. Metal detectors were also installed just ahead of the packaging system. This was a very engineering intensive project due to spatial constraints and limited available shutdown time for installation.
