MSBA

Weighing andreceiving hopper

Modular design.Versatile and flexible.

Centralized weighing system.

Weigh hopper, lower surge

hopper with filter unit, and

pneumatic discharge conveyor.

ApplicationsMSBA weighing and receiving hoppers are designed for weighing, transferring, and receiving products in bakeries, blending systems, and premix installations.

Field of applicationSeven different assemblies in different versions are avail-able for use in bakeries, blending systems, and premix installations, with useful volumes ranging from 100 to 1000 liters, for handling floury and mealy products, sugar, salt, etc.

Features– Assemblies that can be combined in a multitude of different ways, thanks to modular design– All components in contact with the product are made of stainless steel and processed to grade I standards – Optimal sanitation thanks to minimum dust accumu- lation zones– Low maintenance– Easy to service – easy access to all electric, pneumatic, and electronic units– Excellent weighing accuracy of the scales thanks to stable design– Easy, flexible possibilities of installation thanks to height- adjustable fastening elements for suspension or support of the assemblies

Overview of assemblies. Versatile applications.

1 Centralized scaleThe centralized scale is applied underneath storage bins together with a single or twin lower surge hopper. The centralized scale is fed by a screw conveyor and transfers the weighed product to a lower surge hopper.

2 External centralized scaleThe external centralized scale is applied next to storage bins together with a single or twin lower surge hopper. The external centralized scale is fed pneumatically via line diverters. The weighed product is conveyed onward by the lower surge hopper.

3 Lower surge hopper scaleThe lower surge hopper scale is applied underneath storage bins and fed by screw conveyors. The weighed product is fed directly from the lower surge hopper scale through an airlock into a pneumatic conveying line.

4 Decentralized scaleThe decentralized scale is applied in a bakery building above kneader units. The product to be weighed is intro-duced pneumatically via scroll-type (tangential) inlets in the weigh hopper. The weighed product is discharged directly into a kneader tub or a kneader unit.

5 Single and twin lower surge hoppersLower surge hoppers are applied underneath a central-ized scale or an external centralized scale and receive the weighed product from them. Lower surge hoppers serve as product holding hoppers and feed the product through airlocks into a pneumatic conveying line.

6 Receiving pointThe receiving point is applied in a bakery building above kneader units. The product already weighed is intro- duced pneumatically via scroll-type (tangential) inlets in the receiving hopper. The product is discharged directly into a kneader tub or a kneader unit without generating dust.

Field of application in blending systemsFor applications in blending systems, batch scales with a useful volume of 1000, 2000, or 4000 liters are available.The batch scales are installed either directly underneath the storage bins and fed by screw conveyors and gravity spouting, or they are installed independent of the location of the product to be weighed and fed through a filter with total separator.

Features– Easy to service – easy access to all electric, pneu- matic, and electronic units– Optimal sanitation thanks to minimum dust accumu- lation zones– Excellent weighing accuracy of the scales thanks to stable design– Easy, flexible possibilities of installation thanks to height-adjustable fastening elements for suspension or support of the assembliesBatch scale 1000 liters– Components in contact with the product are made of stainless steel and processed to grade I standards Batch scales 2000 and 4000 liters– Components in contact with the product are made of mild steel or stainless steel processed to grade I standards
