Redesigned Process System Tackles Operational Challenges

Major Biscuit & Snack Brand

A major Biscuit & Snack Brand faced critical challenges in manufacturing its popular breakfast biscuits. The existing production system suffered from significant inefficiencies, including ingredient segregation during transport and high-energy, high-maintenance pneumatic conveyors.  MPE’s System Engineering team developed a comprehensive solution centered on the innovative Chain-Vey technology.

The new system addressed key pain points through a meticulously designed process:

• Supersack unloaders with advanced flow technology
• Precision loss-in-weight feeders ensuring ingredient accuracy
• Stationary surge bins with active bin bottoms
• A sophisticated control system managing up to four batches simultaneously

The transformative approach tackled multiple operational challenges:

• Eliminated ingredient segregation
• Reduced energy consumption
• Minimized noise pollution
• Improved maintenance requirements
• Maintained ingredient accuracy within 0.1%

By reimagining the entire ingredient handling and transport process, MPE enabled this major biscuit & snack brand to optimize its production. The new system ensures precise ingredient measurement, virtually eliminates product loss, and operates in tight spaces with minimal clearance. The result is a more efficient, cost-effective, and high-quality production process that significantly enhances the company’s breakfast biscuit manufacturing capabilities.
