Solving Your Toughest Ingredient Handling Challenges
Powder Packaging Automation – Smart Solutions for Handling Whey and Dairy Powders
Automated powder packaging systems connect seamlessly with upstream dryers to move whey and dairy powders from process to package with accuracy and control. By integrating conveying, filling, dust control, and controls into one system, cheese producers reduce manual handling while maintaining sanitary conditions and consistent packaging performance.
- Improves consistency when packaging whey, milk powders, and dairy blends
- Reduces dust and product loss during bag filling
- Enhances sanitation and food safety in dairy environments
- Supports scalable automation as cheese production volumes grow
Salt Handling Automation
- Delivers consistent salt flow for brines and direct ingredient addition
- Improves operator safety by eliminating repetitive lifting
- Supports precise control of salt levels for uniform cheese quality
- Reduces variability that can impact flavor and moisture control
Cellulose Handling and Dust Control Solutions
Cellulose and anti‑caking ingredients used in shredded cheese applications require gentle, dust‑controlled handling. Automated bulk bag unloading and vacuum conveying systems deliver these fine powders reliably—even in low‑headroom dairy facilities—while maintaining sanitary conditions and protecting operators.
- Ensures even distribution of cellulose on shredded cheese lines
- Minimizes airborne dust that can affect sanitation and housekeeping
- Improves ergonomics and reduces operator exposure
- Maintains consistent flow of difficult, lightweight powders
NFDM Reconstitution – Automated Solution with Semi‑Bulk VacuCam®
- Produces uniform reconstituted dairy liquids for consistent formulations
- Reduces mix time and operator involvement
- Minimizes dust during powder induction
- Supports sanitary, CIP‑ready dairy processing
Smart Solutions for Protein Drinks Using VacuCam® Powder‑Liquid Mixing Technology
- Creates smooth, lump‑free protein and whey‑based beverages
- Improves batch‑to‑batch consistency for value‑added dairy products
- Reduces sanitation risks associated with open powder handling
- Enables scalable production of protein‑rich dairy formulations
