Food
In the food industry, ultrasound helps to optimize the flowability of bulk solids, providing an effective clogging solution.
For plant engineers, OEMs and end users, our ultrasonic systems are the ideal companions to more quality and productivity
Due to their characteristics, bulk solids from the food industry often tend to clog up bulk material handling equipment during sieving or conveying. Without ultrasound, the sieve meshes can quickly become clogged and silos, hoppers and conveying pipes can negatively influence the production process due to bridging or shaft formation.
Compared to conventional flow aids, ultrasound has several advantages
Why our ultrasound is the right choice to optimize your food manufacturing and processing operations.
01
No contamination: components outside the sieve area
02
De-aeration of powder leads to increased quality
03
Prevention of demixing: the right mix makes the difference
04
Compact system size and digital interfaces: easy plant integration
05
Increased throughput and complete emptying of bulk material containers

Areas of application
01
Powder preparation / screening
Thanks to ultrasound technologies, impurities are sieved out with maximum efficiency and agglomerates are broken up. The oversize particles are separated more quickly than with mechanical flow aids. For users, this means a higher yield using less space.
02
Powder production / discharging and conveying
During the processing of solids for the food industry, classical flow problems such as powder bridging and demixing occur repeatedly. With our ultrasound clogging solution, even food solids that are difficult to convey, such as flour or sugar, can flow continuously. The residual quantities of the product are completely emptied from bulk material containers such as hoppers, cyclones and chutes. Cleaning cycles are thus reduced to the minimum.
03
Powder production / Dosing
Classical dosing units with mechanical vibrations are characterized by noisy and energy-consuming operation. Dosing units with ultrasound, on the other hand, through simple programming, can quietly and energy-efficiently dose powder from bulk material vessels.
Case studies
Prevention of bridging, ratholing and noise - Higher yield thanks to ultrasonic discharging
Thanks to the flowsonic® ultrasonic discharge and dosing aid from Artech Ultrasonic Systems, the long-established Swiss company Nahrin is able to reduce noise pollution for employees considerably. Furthermore, the capacity of the filling line for Nahrin’s natural and tasty seasonings is increased by over 30%.

The perfect complement to your existingnew
system
Our patented technology gives you the greatest possible flexibility. Regardless of the geometry, new as well as existing systems can be supported with ultrasound.
Efficient sieving, discharging, conveying and dosing made easy.
The user-friendly solutions get the bulk material moving. Without having to match the geometry to be excited to the frequency of the ultrasonic generator.
Avoiding problems during screening and discharging
While during sieving the sieve mesh remains clear for longer and the separation efficiency is increased, when discharging from silos, among others, classic problems such as bridging and ratholing are prevented thanks to ultrasound.
Reduction of ongoing operating costs
Because ultrasound keeps the product flowing and ensures a continuous process, expensive product downtime can be avoided. In addition, ultrasonic components contribute to significantly lower energy costs compared to pneumatic and mechanical flow aids.
