Automatic system for the addition of salt to sauce mixers from Gericke

Adding small amounts of salt to a sauce intensifies the flavours of the different ingredients. However, it is important not to add too much salt. With an automatic feed system, the amount of salt can be controlled at all times. It also replaces manual handling. Incorrect dosing does not occur and the risk of scalding when handling hot sauces in mixing containers is avoided.

A precision dosing device discharges the salt from a silo and adds the required batch quantity to a weighed vessel below. The vessel now serves as a conveying vessel for the pneumatic dense phase conveying system. With the proven Gericke PulseFlow® PTA system, the salt is conveyed at low air velocities of typically 4 - 12 m/s through the pipework directly into the various liquid mixers with hot liquid. The respective liquid mixer can be selected with diverter valves and the required amount of salt can be added.

The Gericke PulseFlow® PTA conveying system not only maintains the particle size distribution, but also requires only a small amount of compressed air, which results in low energy consumption. Thanks to the low air volume, no special dust filter is required on the mixer.

All materials that come into contact with the product are made of 316Ti/316L stainless steel, which is suitable for corrosive products such as salt. In addition, the design of the sending container allows the material to be completely emptied.
