Opportunity / Problem

Opportunity: Manufacture large batches of multi-colored and flavored gelatin like candy with new extruding technology.

Problem: Color and flavor must be injected at the point of extrusion to make a multi-strand “ribbon” of candy where each strand is a different color and flavor. At the point of extrusion, pressures are ~1200 – 1400psi and the flavor & color are to be metered proportionally to the dough which is varying by the speed of production run.

Solution = Prominent

Solution: Design a multiple Sigma HK pump skid that is integrated with Emerson mass flow meters and Prominent D2C controllers.

The D2C controllers will take the 4-20ma signal from the Emerson mass flow meters and create a PID loop to control the speed and flow of the flavors / colors based on production speed.

Additional System Benefits

The new system allowed the candy manufacturer to make a “base” dough and they could change color / flavor combinations on the fly, where they used to have to run until the batch was gone, stop, clean the equipment, make a new batch, and then begin production again.

Old changeover time was 3-6 hours

New changeover time is NOW 6-10 minutes
