The equipment in brief
A complete bulk flour handling system: intake from a flour tanker or from bags, storage in silos, pneumatic conveying across the workshop, in-line sifting and metal detection, and weight dosing directly into the dough mixers. Besides flour the system handles sugar and other bulk ingredients.

Key advantages
Bags disappear from the workshop
And with them the handlers, the trolleys, the storage floor and the packaging waste. That is the biggest saving in the whole system.
Weight instead of counting bags
Dosing is checked by a weighing instrument. The recipe stops depending on how full a bag happens to be.
Sifting on the way
A vibrating sifter and a magnetic separator sit in the pneumatic line — the flour is cleaned while it is being fed to the mixer, not in a separate operation.
The accounting runs itself
The PLC counts what was received, what is left in the silos and what is consumed per day. A shortfall shows the same day rather than at the end of the month.
Installation inside a working workshop
Trevira® fabric silos are carried in without special assembly openings — production does not stop.
Not only flour
The system handles sugar and other bulk ingredients — one infrastructure for all the raw material.
Who this equipment is for
Bulk storage pays for itself where a lot of flour is used every day:
- bread factories and large bakeries
- confectionery plants
- dumpling and pasta production
- frozen semi-finished product factories
- operations with several dough mixers
- plants whose store no longer holds the bags
How it works
- IntakeFrom a flour tanker through loading pipes, or from bags through a bag tipper.
- StorageSilos inside or outside the workshop: Trevira® fabric, ESA stainless steel panel, steel, fibreglass.
- ConveyingPneumatic conveying under pressure or vacuum through AISI 304 pipes.
- CleaningA vibrating sifter and a magnetic separator to catch metal — right in the line.
- DosingWeighing hoppers and electronic scales discharge the flour straight into the mixer.
- AccountingA PLC with a touch panel tracks stock and consumption; remote service access is available.
What bulk storage gives
- flour is no longer carried in bags: fewer staff, less handling equipment and less storage floor space
- consistent dosing quality — the weight is checked by an instrument, not by counting bags
- sifting and metal detection happen in the flow, while the flour is being fed to the mixer
- automatic accounting of what was received, what is left in the silos and what is consumed per day — fewer losses
- no packaging waste; the silo fabric lasts more than 15 years
- installation inside a working workshop, with no special assembly openings
