Optimize quality and accuracy with Pfening's minor and micro ingredient systems.
Pfening designs and manufactures minor and micro ingredient systems. These systems are ideal when handling ingredients that do not justify a bulk ingredient handling system. With minor and micro ingredient handling systems, manual handling of ingredients is greatly reduced, which decreases the chance of worker injury. Automating the weighing and delivery of the ingredients to the mixer improves batch accuracy.
Our minor and micro ingredient automation approach improves productivity, batch accuracy, sanitation, consistency, and quality. We convey as little as a few ounces up to larger amounts using bag dumps and bulk bag unloaders.
Types of Minor and Micro Ingredient Systems
Bulk Bag Systems
Systems to automatically transfer and scale specialty ingredients received in bulk bags.
Bag Dump Systems
Bag dump systems are ideal for loading pre-weighed dry ingredients and for automatic transfer to production. This easy-to-use system features dust control.
Micro Dry Ingredient Systems
Systems to automatically precision scale and transfer dry ingredients with extremely low batch draw weights.
Liquid Tote Systems
These automatic systems transfer, meter, or scale ingredients received in liquid totes. Pfening’s tote system features a lower reservoir to maintain constant pressure on the transfer pump to maximize metering accuracy and provide and support production needs during tote changeouts.
