Christof Industries’ successful implementation of numerous projects for the food industry has proven its expertise in this area. Our plants are characterised by great precision and high levels of up-time, in addition to elevated standards of hygiene.
Task
- Development, manufacturing and assembly of a solution for adding haemoglobin pigment at the client’s dog food production lines.
Particular challenges
- Hygiene standards required the use of unique production processes, the ability of the facility to be cleaned rapidly and flexibly, certain components to be kept sterile, etc.
Scope of work
- On the basis of a product brief, Christof Systems took care of the entire development (basic and detail engineering as well as software development), manufacturing (electrical and mechanical), assembly and commissioning.
- A pneumatic conveyor first sucks the haemoglobin pigment (red blood pigment used to colour the dog food) from big bags and deposits it in mixing receptacles, where it is mixed with water by means of a special mixing procedure. The particle-free colouring fluid that is thus produced is kept at a precise temperature until it can be added to four production lines. The fluid is added in precisely measured quantities to the four production lines simultaneously.
Further projects for the food industry
- Conveying systems inter alia for table salt, canola and linseed for the production of cooking oils.
