Case Study - Pasta
A major Pasta producer was seeking even feeding lines in 2000. For several decades, this company has the accolade of being the leading UK pasta manufacturer of own label and branded lines. Their customers include the major UK retailers and their product range comprises over 150 lines.Our customer had existing vibratory conveyors but could not obtain a single layer of product, which is essential for drying pasta. Cox and Plant designed an even feeding line leading to driers with the product originating from existing hoppers and chutes.
Their requirements included a throughput of just 1000 kilos an hour, a light load which was due to the delicate product type and the need to protect the pasta from damage.
Cox and Plant were able to assist by better design and technology, combined with latest knowledge. A feedback system; a closed loop on the controller which varied the frequency according to the amount of product already distributed, was also introduced to ensure the line was free from starvation and was not subject to over filling and subsequent product breakage.
Cox and Plant managed to overcome the challenge of processing a delicate pasta product, which had to be specific sizes. This company continues to work with Cox and Plant and subsequent to this line demonstrating its effectiveness, repeat orders were placed as the company replaced inefficient equipment, which was too expensive to maintain (not supplied by Cox and Plant!)
