Background
A major international company with over 150 years of experience needed an advanced solution to load and unload liquid sweeteners such as fructose and glucose from various containers. The company operates across multiple sectors, including chocolate, cereals, and starches. It needed a flexible, hygienic system that supports operations and prevents cross-contamination between liquid products.
Challenge
The company needed one loading point that could handle different liquids. It also needed to keep each liquid safely separated. The system had to support quick, thorough cleaning between loading cycles. The company also wanted a setup that could adapt to occasional ISO tank loading and unloading.
Solution
To meet these needs, IFC Inflow recommended an articulated bottom-loading arm from the BLA-403 series. The design supports multiple liquid types and adapts to different sweeteners. The articulated arm provides easy access to the ISO tank’s bottom for smooth operation and high-efficiency loading. The system also supports high-temperature steam cleaning. This enables thorough cleaning between cycles and helps prevent cross-contamination.
Outcome
With the new BLA-403 articulated bottom-loading arm in place, the client now has a flexible and hygienic system for loading and unloading liquid sweeteners. The system complies with food industry regulations and supports safe, efficient operation. Faster cleaning and reliable separation between cycles have streamlined loading operations. The client maintains high safety and cleanliness standards.
Benefits of the Solution
- Hygienic and Safe Operation: High-temperature steam cleaning helps prevent cross-contamination between liquids.
- Flexible and Customisable: The arm handles different liquids and supports occasional ISO tank operations.
- Efficient Loading: The articulated arm enables quick, precise loading and unloading.
- Compliance with Food Industry Standards: The system meets strict food industry regulations.
