Case story
Inline continuous dough mixing installation
The customer required an inline continuous mixing system for powders and liquids, designed for a food-related application. Raw materials and ingredients are sourced from bulk containers, big bags, or small bags, and are handled manually before being automatically dosed according to the recipe. This process results in a continuous dough flow, which is inspected for foreign materials before being transferred to the next processing step.
The entire system features a hygienic design, compliant with food industry standards. All wetted components are connected to a dedicated CIP (Clean-in-Place) system.
The installation is fully automated, recipe-controlled, and ensures high dosing accuracy throughout operation
The process
Process Engineering NL was responsible for the conceptual process design, basic process engineering, and all associated engineering activities as outlined below.
This included the development of a preliminary project execution plan and the preparation of a Capex budget estimate.
All work was carried out in close collaboration with the customer’s project team to ensure alignment with project goals and requirements.
