1 t/h all-stainless system with uniform mixing and low-noise platform

1. Project Overview

For manufacturers of beverages, dairy products, instant drinks and bakery premixes, sugar-based additive blends are a core part of many recipes. Traditional setups with manual bag dumping, gravity feeding and standard mixers often suffer from:

• Long mixing times and inconsistent batch-to-batch homogeneity;

• Segregation of light and fine powders, leading to uneven particle size distribution;

• Mixed material and surface finishes in the line, creating cleaning difficulties and hygiene dead zones;

• High noise and vibration levels on the working platform.

This project focuses on a fully stainless steel powder conveying and mixing line for sugar-based additives, designed to deliver 1 ton per hour with uniform mixing, balanced particle size distribution, easy cleaning and reduced noise.

2. Application Scenario

The line is designed for a customer producing:

• Sugar-based drink and instant beverage premixes;

• Compound additives combining sugar, sweeteners, flavors and stabilizers;

• Powder blends used in bakery and dairy applications.

Typical requirements include:

• Continuous or multi-batch production with a target throughput of 1 t/h;

• High mixing homogeneity, especially for micro-ingredients;

• Reduced dust, simplified cleaning and less downtime;

• Lower platform noise and vibration to improve the shop-floor environment.

3. Our Solution (Line Configuration & Key Specifications)

We supplied a complete sugar additive powder conveying and mixing line with fully stainless steel construction and a low-noise platform.

Main system modules:

1. Feeding & Powder Conveying

   • Raw sugar and additives are fed via a feeding hopper or dust-free dumping station;

   • Powder is delivered to the weighing and mixing section by screw or vacuum conveyor, reducing manual handling and airborne dust.

2. Dosing & Mixing

   • Multiple dosing points can be configured according to different recipes, ensuring sugar and additives are fed in the correct ratios;

   • A high-efficiency mixer provides intensive mixing and good fold-over, resulting in uniform blends and balanced particle size distribution;

   • Mixing time is optimized to maintain quality while maximizing hourly output.

3. Low-Noise Platform & Stainless Steel Structure

   • All product-contact parts and major structural components are made of 304 stainless steel or better, meeting food-grade requirements;

   • The operating platform adopts a low-noise, anti-vibration design, reducing resonance and noise transmission during operation;

   • Simple, open structure with smooth internal transitions makes the line easy to strip down and clean, supporting frequent product changeovers.

4. Customer Benefits (Expected Performance)

Based on the design and early trial runs, this line delivers:

• Stable mixing quality
  Homogeneous distribution of sugar and additives within each batch improves consistency in taste, solubility and performance in downstream processes.

• High throughput with smooth flow
  At the design rate of 1 t/h, dosing, conveying and mixing are well synchronized, improving overall productivity compared to manual and stand-alone equipment.

• Shorter cleaning and changeover time
  Fully stainless steel construction, smooth inner surfaces and easy-access components reduce powder build-up and simplify cleaning between different formulas.

• Improved working environment
  The low-noise platform and optimized support structure help reduce vibration and noise, making the production area more comfortable and audit-ready.

5. Conclusion

This 1 t/h sugar-based additive powder conveying and mixing line is engineered around four key targets: high capacity, high mixing uniformity, easy cleaning and low noise. It helps the customer:

• Achieve stable, high-quality sugar additive blends with controlled particle size distribution;

• Simplify cleaning and maintenance while meeting food hygiene requirements;

• Improve the working environment through a low-noise, vibration-reduced platform design.

For food and additive manufacturers planning to upgrade their sugar powder or premix lines, this type of integrated powder conveying + mixing solution offers a practical path to better quality, higher efficiency and a more professional production setup.
