Pneumatic Transport of Sugar

Pneumatic conveying of sugar is widely used in the food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries for reasons of hygiene, precision and efficiency. Sugar in the form of crystals or powder requires special conveying systems to prevent clumping, mechanical damage and contamination.

Application Pneumatic Unloading of Bulk Materials.
  • Transporting sugar from silos to packaging lines or mixers.
  • Production of dietary supplements – precise dosing.
  • Unloading sugar from tank cars and rail cars at sugar mills.
  • Adding sugar to flour mixtures, yogurt, cheese.
  • Transmission between production stages (e.g., from refineries to warehouses).
  • Production of jams, preserves – automatic feeding of sugar into boilers.
  • Dispensing sugar into boilers in the production of chocolate, candy bars, candies.
  • Mixing with other ingredients (cocoa, milk powder) in pneumatic systems.
  • Transport of powdered sugar as a drug carrier (syrups, effervescent tablets).

3 Special Requirements for Sugar

Antisugars – systems that prevent aggregation of powdered sugar.
Filtration – bag filters to retain sugar dust.
Stainless steel – installation materials that meet food-grade standards (e.g., AISI 304).
ATEX systems – protection against explosion of sugar dust.
