De-agglomeration technology
Product conditioners by American Process Systems® can provide an excellent cost-effective solution for discharging bulk bags containing material that has been solidified, hardened, or agglomerated, resulting in troublesome bottlenecks in manufacturing.
Product conditioners are commonly used prior to mechanical blending or feeding and can be installed directly on the blender or as a stand-alone unit. They are ideally suited for the food, confectionary, minerals, chemicals, fertilizers, and plastics industries. Materials suitable for product conditioners include, but are not limited to, fruit, frozen foods, parmesan cheese, soup bases, sugars, and salts.
Each product conditioner utilizes a “U-shaped” one-piece welded triple bar breaker profile that safely and efficiently returns solid materials to a free-flowing state. A removable perforated screen and frame assembly allows customers to quickly change over to different screen configurations suitable for each application. The double- hinged side doors provide easy access for cleaning.
The product conditioner features a compact footprint and machine guarding for operator safety. Additional features include:
- 304 stainless steel sanitary construction
- Direct drive gear motor
- Inverter duty, high efficiency TEFC (totally enclosed, fan-cooled) motor
- Optional hand-add station
- Optional power and emergency stop button controls
