Special Solutions for Pastry Production Facilities

Many food production facilities need special solutions for the maintenance and repair of machinery equipment. In pastry food production facilities, it is important to maintain and protect the functionality of machines such as mixer, lift and turn, cut and weight, as well as parts such as drum, saddle, chain, pulley and gear, for the smooth continuation of production.

One of the biggest problems encountered in these facilities is the so-called “dough sludge”. Dough sludge is the name given to the residue formed when flour and oil combine with heat. Flour combined with oil without water is roasted by the effect of heat in the machines. As a result of this, it hardens with a blackish color and forms a solid dirt layer that must be cleaned at the end of each production.

When these layer of residues are not cleaned, they get between the conveyor belts and the rotating mechanisms, causing slowing and jamming there. This causes the machine to overload and increase energy consumption and even damage the conveyor connection points.

Similarly, flour particles in the air in the facility cause jamming in belts, burner and discharge fans and electric motors. As a result, energy consumption and operating noise increase, and the service life of the parts is shortened due to excessive friction. All these problems can be overcome with the use of anti-friction lubricants and anti-corrosion products in these parts.

Heat resistant oils are generally used in cooling towers and in-furnace chain systems. Although this situation is logically correct, but the desired result is generally not obtained due to skipping the most important point. The important point in chain systems is the use of a product that completely lubricates and protects the chain by entering not only the outer surface of the chain but also the pin-pin connections. This reduces friction, energy consumption and operating noise. As a result of lubrication with a right product, maintenance periods are extended and time and labor savings are achieved.

The first holding point and spiral cooling towers have many small on-off control mechanisms due to the tower design. The lubrication and protection of these mechanisms is important for the smooth operation and longevity of the system. The main problem here is the possibility of dripping of the used oil into the product due to the heat generated during cooling and holding. The use of oils which complies as food grade and have a high dripping temperature in these mechanisms ensures that such problems are not encountered.
