This pneumatic lifting system comprises :
- Piping elements to connect the mill (on level N) to the remote bluttery (on level N+1), clamps for suspending and securing the piping.
NB: piping elements are in painted steel (paint suitable for contact with foodstuffs). All stainless steel option available on request.
- An inspection hatch to sample the wholemeal flour leaving the mill
- A high-efficiency cyclone separator to separate the wholemeal flour from the conveying air stream
- An industrial-grade suction turbine
- An industrial-grade rotary feeder at the cyclone outlet to dose the flour in the remote sifting machine
- An air filter and support to purify the air discharged by the cyclone into the workshop and to recover the fine flour that cannot be 100% separated by the cyclone.
The advantages of the Astreïa pneumatic
lift over a mechanical conveying system (bucket lift or auger type):
- Self-cleaning system. The conveying air circulates at high speed through the pipes and carries the flour with it, leaving little residue in the circuit. This makes cleaning/purging operations between different batches of flour a breeze!
- The system is extremely reliable and maintenance-free on the mechanical side, thanks to the low number of moving parts (only the suction turbine and the rotary valve, which have a service life of several tens of thousands of hours without any maintenance).
- Flexible, adaptable layout to suit the configuration of your workshop: 4m vertical rise and 2m horizontal offset as standard (other dimensions available on request)
- Improved humidity management thanks to forced ventilation of the arch, eliminating condensation problems both under the arch and in the sieves, even in adverse climatic conditions (cold, damp atmosphere).
- Active cooling of the millstones thanks to the large air flow under the arch.

Settings and maintenance
Electrical control panel for automated management of the entire pneumatic conveying system (with mill slaving). This control panel also allows you to modulate the suction power according to the volume of flour to be lifted.
Easy maintenance thanks to the self-cleaning system
Standards and installation conditions
All our machines comply with CE, food, safety and hygiene standards.
Our machines come with a 1-year parts and labour warranty, and for added peace of mind we offer preventive and corrective maintenance contracts.
