Hygienic mixing and conveying of low-viscosity oils

Low-viscosity edible oils are mixed and filled from various IBCs. The technology used must comply with hygiene regulations and allow for a flexible combination of mixing and pumping.

Solution
MINIFLUX Sanitary with F 416 compressed air motor

Task

Mix low-viscosity cooking oils from various IBCs and then transfer them to a storage tank. Some of the IBCs are not accessible from the top. At the same time, all components used must be food-grade and suitable for hygienic processes.

Requirements
  • Hygienic Handling of Edible Oils  
  • Compliant with FDA and EC 1935/2004  
  • Use with inaccessible IBCs  
  • Combination of mixing and pumping
