SLU-600 for Sugar Powder Production Expansion

This article details the complete process of a sugar powder production expansion project for a food manufacturer, documenting the entire workflow from capacity requirement analysis, equipment selection, and customized design through to installation and commissioning. The equipment ultimately purchased by the client was our SLU-600 sugar grinder, intended for the production of one ton of sugar powder per hour.

I. Project Background: The Need for Expanded Sugar Powder Capacity

The client featured in this case study is a food manufacturing plant. Sugar powder serves as one of their core raw materials, utilized extensively across product lines such as baked goods, pastries, and powdered beverages. Due to business expansion, their existing sugar powder production capacity was no longer sufficient to meet operational demands, creating an urgent need to increase capacity.

1.1 Core Requirements

II. Solution: SLU-600 Powder Grinder with Cyclone Dust Collecting System

The client's fineness requirement is 80–100 mesh, which falls within the standard range for powdered sugar. The cost-effective design of the SLU series is sufficient to meet this need, eliminating the necessity to invest in the higher-cost SLA ultra-fine series.

2.1 Equipment Selection

Based on the client's required production capacity of 1 ton per hour, we recommended the SLU-600 model, paired with a cyclone separator and a dust collection system to ensure continuous, dust-free production.

III. Proposal Consultation and Customized Design

Upon confirming the compatible equipment model, we immediately engaged in a detailed consultation with the client regarding the proposed solution to ensure a seamless production process.

3.1 Proposal Presentation and Discussion

We provided the client with a detailed quotation proposal and conducted a comprehensive presentation via a meeting:

3.2 Customized Design: Addressing Workshop Height Restrictions

The client's production workshop had limited ceiling height, making it impossible to install the standard equipment layout directly. We developed a customized design specifically to address this unique situation:

Note: The finished product is discharged from the bottom of the cyclone separator; the dust collector serves only to collect fine dust particles. Therefore, removing the bottom discharge outlet on the dust collector does not interfere with normal production operations.

3.3 Drawing Confirmation and Order Placement

Upon completing the customized design, we submitted the equipment drawings to the client for final verification. Once the client confirmed that the drawings were accurate and satisfactory, the order for production was officially placed.

IV. Equipment Delivery and Installation

Currently, the machine has already been in the customer's factory for the installtion.

V. Case Summary

In this client case study, after comprehensively evaluating the client's specific requirements and cost considerations, we recommended the SLU-600 sugar powder grinder. It is the most cost-effective solution available to successfully meet their need for increased sugar powder production capacity. Furthermore, taking into account the height constraints of the client's production facility, we provided a customized modification to the equipment.
