Millennials recently replaced Boomers as the nation’s largest living adult generation, with Gen Z close behind. These top two generations have the following in common: make it personal, custom, and preferably organic. Both groups also crave variety and adventure, which food product manufacturers seek to deliver through a mashup of textures, shapes, and flavors influenced by global cuisines. The confluence of customization, variety, and adventure has led to a proliferation of mixes and blends across product categories, from baking to snacking and even pet foods and bird seeds.

Maintain Mix integrity from input to discharge

A tubular drag conveyor system maintains consistent blend or mix integrity from input to discharge from fine particulates to coarser blends or substantially differentiated proprietary mixes for applications from snacks to sprinkles or pet foods. Its unique, enclosed compartmental design guards against the sifting and shifting common in other types of conveyor systems that can cause significant blend restructuring for disproportionate end results. Our engineers can calculate the optimal system speed and most appropriate tube angles and construction for the desired throughput. Maintain precise blend ratios for products with diverse weights, shapes, and sizes for the most exemplary quality output.
