Milling
Keep your process flowing
Munters dehumidifiers control humidity to prevent clogging and keep grains, feed and powdered materials flowing smoothly. Our dehumidifiers for food powder milling & conveying dry the air before pumping it into your silo, milling machine, or pneumatic conveyor.
Grains, feed and powdered materials such as sugar and flour can become difficult to grind and clog up your machinery, without proper humidity control. The quality of your products may suffer, resulting in coarse product and reduced milling machine performance.
Munters dehumidifiers for powder conveying & milling can prevent these issues by controlling the relative humidity and dew point of the air. Dew point is the temperature at which moisture starts to condense out of the air onto machinery walls or products. By effectively controlling humidity in silos, around milling machines, and during product haulage, Munters ensures your raw materials remain dry and clog-free.
Milling applications
Grain milling and conveying
Seeds sprout when exposed to moisture, which means storing and grinding grains requires consistently dry air. Munters desiccant dehumidifiers are the answer to controlling humidity in milling and storage areas. With more than 10-11% moisture content, grains won't store or mill well without the right conditions.
But it's not just about storage and milling. If you transport flour from the silo or milling machine by conveying pneumatically using ambient air at pressure, moisture will condense in the conveying line, causing the flour to lump, stick, and spoil.
Munters dehumidifiers for milling and conveying pre-dry the conveying air, preventing condensation and ensuring that no moisture condenses out when the product cools after processing. This means no more sticking, and a hygienic and free-flowing system.
Feed mills
To ensure high-quality animal feed, Munters climate control solutions can help your feed mill facility maintain the appropriate moisture levels. Munters dehumidification systems can help you maintain the right balance of moisture, preventing the growth of mold, bacteria, and other contaminants that can compromise the safety and nutritional value of your feed.
Our climate control solutions can also help you regulate temperature, improve air quality, and reduce energy costs, all while ensuring that your feed production stays on track. Count on Munters to provide you with the climate control solutions you need to keep your feed mill facility running smoothly and efficiently.
Silo storage conditioning
Storing hygroscopic ingredients in silos can cause clumping and bacterial growth due to high humidity or condensation. Low temperatures can lead to a rise in the relative humidity of the head space when the saturation point has been reached. Munters dehumidifiers can maintain a proper moisture balance by keeping the air inside the silo, and the silo head space, at an optimal temperature and dew point, preventing costly downtime. The specific conditions for dehumidification depend on factors such as climate, location, and ingredient characteristics.
Silo weighing system
Munters silo weighing systems accurately measure the feed stored in silos, providing farmers and feed producers with real-time data. This enables precise planning of feed transport to ensure silos are always filled with food.
Farming dehumidification
Our desiccant dehumidification systems work by passing moist air through a slowly revolving desiccant wheel. This wheel dries the air, removing any moisture that could cause clogging, before pumping it into your silo, milling machine, or pneumatic conveyor. With Munters humidity control technology, you can trust that your powdered materials will flow smoothly and efficiently through your processes.
