FERRARA PAN CANDY MAINTAINS QUALITY STANDARDS WITH THE BLOW THRU SIEVE FROM RUSSELL FINEX
With an ever-growing demand from consumers for increased food safety assurances, Ferrara Pan Candy invest in the Russell Blow Thru Sieve™ to further enhance their food safety control system by eliminating contamination from ingredients delivered to their site.
Producing popular confections such as Original Boston Baked Beans, Lemonhead, Red Hots, Jaw Busters and Atomic Fireballs, Ferrara Pan Candy produces approximately 750,000 lbs of candy per day, and in order to sustain this production level, over one million lbs of sugar is delivered to the factory via rail each week. The sugar is then transferred from the rail car to a silo via a bucket conveyor.
Although sugar is refined when it is produced Ferrara needs to ensure there are no molasses, minerals or other non-sugar contamination that may have entered the product during rail car filling and transportation. Therefore in order to enhance the quality of their processed sugar, Ferrara decided to invest in a screening system which would remove any contamination from the sugar after it passes through the silo and before it is used on each product line.
Following a consultation a Russell Finex sales representative, it was decided that the Russell Blow Thru SieveÔ would be the most appropriate machine for the application. Russell Finex recommended this machine as it would fit neatly into the small space that they had available to screen their sugar. In addition, with the sieve check screening and conveying in a single operation, product quality could be improved without sacrificing productivity.
In order for the machine to suit the installation better, the machine was customized. Firstly, the inlet of the machine needed to be in a different place to fit in with the existing process line. Secondly, the unit had to be adapted to allow for an Easy-Clean Magnetic SeparatorÔ to be installed on the machine. The magnet removes ferrous contamination that is small enough to pass through the mesh screen by trapping the metal on the bars whilst the sugar is being blown through.
