Vibrating Conveyor for Crystal Sugar

In February, JOEST secured an order for the delivery of a specialized 15-meter-long vibrating conveyor for a Serbian producer of sugar products. This machine is an integral part of the production process, conveying freshly centrifuged sugar with a throughput of up to 70 tons per hour at a moisture content of 0,2-0,4% and a product temperature of about 65°C.

Drying system for extruded proteins

The contract manufacturer Driessen Food Extrusion, based in Deurne in the Netherlands, processes mixed and powdered plant-based proteins into high-quality intermediates for the Food Industry.
To expand production, JOEST supplied a new drying system. It was designed in close collaboration with the client to meet the special requirements of a contract manufacturer in the Food Industry. The drying system, consisting of a Fluidized Bed Dryer with a process- , heating- , cooling- and exhaust air system as well as a Spiral Conveyor, was already installed this summer. The scope of delivery also included the system controls (control cabinet, control panel, etc.) from JOEST’s in-house Control Technology.

Lifting and Tipping Device with Dosing Feeder

In conventional applications, the Lifting and Tipping Device empties the bulk material in one gush, e.g. into downstream feeders. During the tipping process, blockages or damage to sensitive products can occur, due to the drop height. The latest Lifting and Tipping Devices can be fitted with an integrated dosing feeder. The feeder acts as a load pickup for the container. During the tipping process, the container empties its content slowly onto the feeder. Once the discharge position is reached, the vibratory drive is turned on to gently convey the bulk material into the downstream process. This type of feeding technique can be used for galvanized drums, sand blasting plants, packaging machines and many other applications.
