FLOUR MIXING, BAGGING & CONVEYING SYSTEM

S. Howes designed and built a system which batch mixed various ingredients into a flour base and packaged the product for final delivery. The customer was experiencing increased sales and decided to expand into a facility that had height limitations. The customer requested that S. Howes assist in the design of the entire system and provide all key components of the process.

The project was conducted in two phases. The first phase consisted of the construction of core components of the system such as the mixer, surge bins and bagger. The second phase required S. Howes to specify and provide conveying equipment as well as support frames and mezzanines.

S. Howes installed the system on-site. Once completed the customer was able to produce 15,000 lbs. of flour mix per hour.
