Project Challenge
At Arnreiter Mühle in Austria, grain is milled as well as refined in various processes. This highly automated mill utilizes a wide range of machines for steaming, flaking, crushing, grinding, extruding, roasting, cooling, drying, and peeling. Through these treatments, the shape and characteristics of grains and seeds are changed to improve storage life, digestibility, and baking properties, and to reduce bitterness.
Extensive conveying systems. – A variety of conveying systems featuring flexible drive solutions is required to achieve an efficient transport of particulate and free flowing media from one processing stage to the next. As a company that is fully committed to sustainable production, Arnreiter sought to install robust, low-maintenance drives that would provide a long service life as well as ensure highly reliable continuous operation to safeguard excellent quality of the end products.
Dust hazard. – As raw materials are finely ground, the atmosphere throughout the mill is enriched by dust particles. Electrical drives must therefore be explosionproof. Drawing on a versatile portfolio of mechanical, electrical and electronic drive technology certified for use in hazardous areas, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS was able to provide various different types of geared motors as well as integrated mechatronic drive systems for distributed operation.
