With Sugar On Top: Delivery System Expansion

MPE Systems Engineering team engineered significant upgrades to an existing powdered sugar delivery system to 9 kettles.

Key System Attributes

  • New vacuum pneumatic system to deliver powdered sugar to 5 additional use points (Dry mix area and 4 Glaze line kettles)
  • Additional multipurpose use point on the original system
  • Full system redundancy allowing transfer from any bulk bag unloader to any use point via either desiccant dryer
  • Replacement of one bulk bag unloader with a flex auger and load cell-equipped surge hopper

Key Deliverables

  • Comprehensive engineering documentation (P&IDs, equipment lists, utility requirements)
  • Installation bid packages for mechanical, electrical, and piping
  • Project schedule and coordination
  • Equipment supply for air cooling/dehumidification, vacuum system, filtration, valves, and kettle connections
  • System startup assistance

Results

This upgrade provides Lawrence Foods with enhanced flexibility and reliability through redundant systems, ensuring continuous operation even during maintenance or equipment failures.
