As the food processing industry continues to embrace automation and digital transformation, traditional flour handling methods are facing increasing challenges in terms of production efficiency, weighing accuracy, labor costs, and operational management. To support the modernization of its production facilities, Sanquan Food launched automatic flour handling system upgrade projects at its Zhengzhou and Chengdu manufacturing plants. Leveraging its expertise in grain engineering, automation control, and system integration, Golden Grain Group designed and implemented a complete automated flour conveying solution that integrates flour storage, conveying, screening, weighing, and intelligent control into one efficient system.
The project provides a reliable foundation for improving production efficiency, product consistency, and digitalized factory management.
With the continuous expansion of production capacity, food manufacturers require increasingly stable, accurate, and automated raw material handling systems. Ensuring a continuous flour supply while reducing manual intervention has become essential for maintaining efficient production operations.
To address these challenges, Sanquan Food initiated a comprehensive upgrade of its flour storage and conveying system, aiming to establish a more reliable and intelligent ingredient handling process throughout the production line.
Based on existing plant conditions and production requirements, Golden Grain Group upgraded the original manual flour feeding process and developed a fully automated flour handling system.
The solution includes:
– Bulk flour receiving from tanker trucks
– Flour storage silos
– Pneumatic flour conveying system
– Flour screening equipment
– Automatic weighing and dosing system
– Centralized intelligent control system
– The project is equipped with 40-ton food-grade 304 stainless steel flour silos featuring outdoor thermal insulation design, ensuring safe and stable flour storage under varying environmental conditions.
– Through automated conveying and material distribution, the system enables seamless coordination between different production processes while significantly improving operational efficiency.
The automated flour conveying system performs critical processes including flour screening, conveying, and weighing without manual intervention.
A centralized control system monitors and manages the entire operation, ensuring consistent performance and real-time process visibility.
The weighing accuracy is maintained within ±0.3%, meeting the strict ingredient measurement requirements of modern food manufacturing. Stable and continuous flour supply helps maximize production line uptime while supporting consistent product quality.
Compared with traditional manual flour handling methods, the automated flour feeding system offers several significant advantages:
– Reduced labor requirements and lower operating costs
– Improved production efficiency and workflow management
– Higher weighing accuracy and process consistency
– Enhanced traceability of production data
– Increased operational reliability and food safety
– Support for smart factory and digital manufacturing initiatives
By standardizing material handling procedures and integrating intelligent control technologies, the system provides food manufacturers with greater visibility and control over their production processes.
The successful completion of these projects demonstrates Golden Grain Group comprehensive capabilities in grain engineering, food processing solutions, electrical automation, and turnkey system integration.
With extensive experience in flour handling systems, flour storage silos, pneumatic conveying technology, and industrial automation projects, Golden Grain Group continues to provide efficient, reliable, and customized engineering solutions for food processing and grain processing enterprises worldwide.
Looking ahead, Golden Grain Group will remain committed to customer-focused innovation, delivering advanced flour conveying systems, automated ingredient handling solutions, and intelligent manufacturing technologies that help customers improve productivity, enhance product quality, and achieve sustainable growth.
