The product in blocks need to be crashed and creamed at ambient temperature in order to become soft for being feed to the filler unit of the filling machine.
The unit is composed of a section where the block, inserted from an operator or coming from a feeding conveyer, will be crushed or sliced, then the sliced product will drop to the main hopper where a screw system provide to re-work it until the product become soft and pumpable.
After the reworking section a lobe pump provide to feed continuously the filling system with the control of a compensating valve who provide to limit the pulses of product flow due to the normal intermittent work of the filler.
The system is specially designed for dairy environment and built according to the latest technologies, achieving a perfect balance between safety, compliance with the ecological criteria, hygiene, maximum cost-efficiency and great versatility, as they can be fitted to every model of ALIMENTA INDUSTRIES machines.
All of the components that get in touch with the product are made of stainless steel, or in any case are suitable to get in contact with alimentary products.
Finishes are of sanitary type, welding, obtained through TIG system, by overlapping edges in modified atmosphere (without material addition), are flattened and polished.
The above system can be optionally equipped with a dedicated C.I.P. module who provides for the cleaning in place of the product feeding unit itself and the FFS machine at the same time.
