Case Studies

Summary: The LD Davis manufacturing facility needed to replace four existing fountain blenders that were old, worn out, caused unwanted lumps, and no longer met their needs. The original equipment was spread out over two levels making the equipment cumbersome to access and operate. Heat generated from the mixing process often created lumps, resulting in material bridging. The facility needed a higher capacity system that was safer, faster, easier to run, more efficient, and able to process much higher volumes.  Read the full case study to learn about how Lee Process Equipment solved all the needs of LD Davis.

Summary: Golden Grove employees were manually filling 20 bulk bags per day. Three filling stations each contained a hopper fitted with a slide gate and a scale positioned below. An operator would open the slide gate allowing the peanuts to fall into the bulk bag until the bag was within +/- 2 lb of the target 900 lb weight. The process was extremely slow and labor intensive. Weighing accuracies could be improved to increase profitability as well.Golden Grove required a significantly faster contamination free process to meet the growing wholesale demand. The company turned to Spiroflow Systems who recommended an automated gainin-weight filling system.
