Mass Flow of edible sweets
Description: The

room where they are then mixed with other colors in a hopper before being
bagged up.
Valves Used: Type
VMC [3”] Alum Housing with Stainless Steel Sockets Ends (NPT), Food Grade
Natural Rubber Sleeve, AKO VAC Unit, Normally Open
Solenoid Valve
Pinch valve has an advantage over ball valve, since the ball valve was shredded around the seals and can last only a month.
The 3” valve(VMC80.02X.50N.30LX) includes a food quality FDA approved natural rubber sleeve to close the valves without damaging the sweets.
The AKO VAC system was added to avoid the sleeve being deformed from the vacuum pressure.
