Jiangsu Changzhou Cocoa Powder Hygienic Conveying System

Customer Profile

Headpowder partnered with a leading cocoa powder processor based in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province. The facility handles large volumes of cocoa powder for the food and beverage industry, requiring strict adherence to international hygiene standards throughout the material handling process.

Initial Challenges Faced by the Customer

The customer encountered frequent product contamination due to open conveying routes, static buildup causing powder clumping, and difficulty in cleaning internal surfaces. The existing equipment lacked sealed connections, leading to dust leakage and cross‑contamination risks. Frequent downtime for manual cleaning reduced overall throughput and increased labor costs.

Headpowder’s Hygienic Conveying Solution

Headpowder designed and installed a fully enclosed pneumatic conveying system tailored for fine cocoa powder. The system uses smooth, polished stainless steel pipelines with quick‑release clamps for fast disassembly and sanitation. Automated cleaning‑in‑place (CIP) capability eliminates residue accumulation, while controlled airflow prevents heat generation and moisture absorption. The solution meets FDA and EU hygiene directives, ensuring product purity from intake to packing.
