Peanut handling
Effectively providing a ‘one stop’ total peanut handling system for food processors, Spiroflow has pioneered two highly efficient solutions: Cableflow cable drag conveyors and Aeroflow aeromechanical conveyors, suitable for various applications depending on delivery speed and volume requirements.
Peanut butter processing, for example, would be best served by the Aeroflow system which can convey at higher speeds of up to 10,000kg per hour, both horizontally and vertically, with minor degradation. While the Cableflow is better suited to applications that require whole nuts with virtually zero degradation leaving the nuts intact and aesthetically appealing to customers.
The conveyors are suitable for use in conjunction with one of Spiroflow’s bulk bag dischargers to bring together not only the volume delivery of peanuts but also salt stabilisers and any other minor/major ingredients. Peanuts are usually blanched or roasted prior to processing and may be supplied with skins attached or removed; Spiroflow’s systems can handle the nuts in either state.
