Success Story – Helped in Achieving High Quality Soy Lecithin Powder
Overview
Production head of the plant approached us through internal reference as we had already supplied our machine in their various plants at different locations all over India.
He explained us challenge they were facing while screening of Soy Lecithin powder with competitor-made vibro separator. Extracts of challenges from the detailed conversation are as stated below.
Mesh Choking: One of the biggest issues was of Mesh Choking due to the nature & characteristics of Soy Lecithin Powder. Soya Lecithin powder is hygroscopic in nature. It absorbs moisture from air & forms sticky layers, lumps & these layers choke (Blocks) the mesh. (As shown in below image)
Frequent Cleaning: With competitor-made machines, they had to clean mesh every 2 hours due to more & more choking & blocking of mesh.
Contamination: Due to frequent cleaning with brush, chances of fiber from brush to get mixed with material was high, raising the issue of safety with product. (As shown in below image)
Capacity: Due to mesh choking the required capacity of output was not able to achieve.
Production loss: Due to frequent breakdowns for cleaning & maintenance production was being suffered.
