SLU-20 Sugar Powder Grinder for Small Factory
By:Salinovate Team
Here we are going to share the sugar powder grinder selection process of a small food factory who had a need to produce powdered sugar in-house. It provides a comprehensive record of the entire workflow from the initial analysis of capacity requirements to the final placement of the production order. The client ultimately selected our SLU-20 standalone sugar grinder.
I. Project Background: A Small Food Plant’s Need for In-House Powdered Sugar Production
The client featured in this case study is a small food manufacturer specialized in the production of various baking seasonings; their product line encompasses a wide range of powdered condiments. Among these offerings, powdered sugar constitutes a key category within their product portfolio, supplied to local bakeries, dessert shops, and online retail channels.
1.1 Core Requirements
Driven by steady business growth, the client decided to undertake the in-house production of powdered sugar to reduce operational costs and ensure consistent product quality. Following an internal assessment, they established the following specific capacity requirements:
Requirement Category | Specific Criteria |
Target capacity | 50 kg/hour |
Collection method | Cloth bag collection |
Fineness requirement | While the client lacked a precise technical specification for particle size, they specified that the fineness should match the standard powdered sugar commonly sprinkled over baked goods. |
II. Solution: SLU-20 Model (Standalone Configuration)
The client's required production capacity is 50 kg/h, which falls within the small-batch production range. A standalone configuration of the SLU-20 model is sufficient to meet this requirement, eliminating the need for a complex, accompanying dust collection system.
