Formulating and embodying new recipes for breakfast cereal or snacks are a real challenge for manufacturers in this food industry. NEU’s know-how in the extruded product and cereal industry covers a large range of solutions
From the intake of the basic product (wheat, barley, rice, oats…) to the finished extruded products NEU Process has the right technology to convey and to process them while respecting the recipe.
To answer the evolution of consumers taste and request, we need to be as reactive as possible. Your production lines must adapt quickly and new ones must be installed. A close partnership is essential to allow you to stayer leader of your market.
Our wide know-how allows us to propose the optimal solution, more effective and more competitive. NEU Process complete range of techniques and combination of techniques are the best way to find the best response to your product configurations.
NEU Process has installed all the pneumatic conveying lines of finished or semi-finished products, from the extruders to the dryers, or from the dryers to ovens; and at the circuit end to the waste bins. Considered the short distances and the air treatment inside the building, the dilute phase was chosen to perform all the pneumatic conveying lines. All the equipment is stainless steel food grade with a maximum of smooth surfaces without retention areas (interior, exterior). Many recipe tests are carried out every week, to validate industrial scale feasibility; that's why the equipment was provided for quick removal and easy cleaning.
Consumer tastes and trends change rapidly, meaning that this industry must be highly reactive. NEU is perfectly familiar with this industry and brings all of our expertise to the table.
From the delivery of cereal (wheat, barley, rice, oats) until the packaging of end products, NEU has mastered all possible bulk product transport configurations, processes all recipe steps and designs the best-suited installation.
NEU’s know-how in the extruded product and cereal industry covers receiving bulk foodstuffs, cleaning them through dust extraction, milling, storage, pneumatic transport to the extruder with metering and mixing of additives and flavourings and pneumatic transport after extrusion to the packaging area.
Transport of products before and after extrusion.
- Big bag emptying station and big bag filling station,
- Dense or dilute phase pneumatic transport (discharge or by pneumatic extraction) integrating rotary sluice, powder metering or micro-dosing,
- Optimisation of transfer speed of bulk products to take into account their fragility, prevention of breakage and production of fine dust,
- Filter receivers with in-door vents, sleeve filters and filter pockets, thus guaranteeing a low rate of dust emissions and venting.
- Food grade stainless steel equipment with a maximum of smooth surfacing with no interior or exterior product retention areas (powder handling),
Particular attention is paid to the explosive potential of powders being handled with explosion protective equipment (up to the powder packaging station)
