Empty Bags & IBCs without the mess

Avoid dust clouds, heavy lifting, and ingredient left in bags.

Equipment: Bulk bag (Super Sac / 1,000 kg bag) unloaders, 25 kg bag dump stations, box & drum tippers, and sealed connectors.

Stop leaks at transfer points

Replace leaking sleeves, dusty clamps, and connectors that are difficult to clean.

Equipment: BFM snap-in fittings, spigots, blanking caps, weighing bellows, custom flexible hoppers, breather socks, and Siftex sleeves and connectors.

Move material through the plant

Avoid manual carrying, spills, or slow transfer between receiving, mixing, and packaging.

Equipment: Flexible & rigid screw conveyors, tubular cable conveyors, pneumatic/vacuum conveying, air slide conveying, thermal and vibratory conveyors, gate & diverter valves, bucket elevators, and loading spouts.

Fill Bags & IBC Boxes/Drums cleanly and accurately

Avoid spills, slow filling, or inconsistent ingredient weights.

Equipment: Bulk bag fillers, bulk bag loading connectors, weighing systems, and dust extraction; filling arrangements for IBC boxes and drums to suit the application.

Feeding, Dosing & Flow Control

Deliver ingredients at the right rate for consistent recipes and production.

Equipment: Volumetric and gravimetric feeders, screw feeders, rotary airlocks, and gate & diverter valves.

Remove lumps and oversize

Avoid clumps, coarse particles, or unwanted material affecting your ingredients and finished product.

Equipment: Sieves, screeners, deblinding systems, and liquid filtration equipment for powders, ingredients, sauces, and other process liquids.

Mix and blend consistently

Avoid uneven dry blends, liquid lumps, or long mixing times in sauces, beverages, batters, and ingredient blends.

Equipment: Dry mixers and blenders, high shear liquid mixers, homogenizers, emulsifiers, disintegrators, and dissolvers.

Industrial Fans & Ventilation

Address fumes, heat buildup, moisture, dust, and corrosive air that strain standard exhaust systems.

Equipment: Backward-inclined FRP centrifugal fans, axial fans, blowers, silencers, and custom acoustic enclosures, selected for the process-air or facility exhaust duty.

Separation, Detection & Inspection

Find foreign material before it reaches downstream equipment or finished food.

Equipment: Magnetic separators, metal detectors, X-ray inspection, and AI optical belt and chute sorters. Ask about product recovery and checks for weight, fill level, and missing components.

Grind to the right particle size

Prepare coarse ingredients for the next process and improve consistency.

Equipment: Hammer mills, fine grinders, lump breakers, and air classifier mills.

Dust Collection & Air Filtration

Support a cleaner work environment for employees and the community around your site.

Equipment: Dust collectors, bin vents, dust collector retrofits, cyclones, filter receivers, scrubbers, and severe-duty cyclones. Wet scrubbers use water or other liquids to remove gases and particles from exhaust streams.

Know when bins are full or empty

Avoid overfills, unexpected ingredient shortages, or unreliable inventory readings.

Equipment: Point level switches and continuous level sensors and transmitters for dry ingredients in bins and silos, and liquids in tanks and vessels.

Automatic Sampling

Collect representative ingredient and product samples with less interruption to production.

Equipment: Automatic samplers for gravity flow, pneumatic lines, and static material to support quality checks.

Heat Trace & Temperature Control

Prevent freezing and help maintain process-line temperatures for ingredients and liquids.

Equipment: Britech heat trace cables, temperature controls, sensors, and accessories; roof and gutter de-icing systems for facility needs.

Get bins and hoppers flowing

Avoid flour, sugar, starch, and other ingredients bridging, sticking to walls, or needing hammering to discharge.

Equipment: Bin activators, Air Sweeps, vibrators, vibratory feeders, and live bottom screws.

Dust Explosion Protection

Address combustible dust hazards associated with materials such as flour, sugar, and starch.

Equipment: Explosion vents, flameless venting, suppression, and isolation systems. RTS can coordinate a dust hazard analysis (DHA) and application review with specialist partners.

Liquid Handling & Processing

Move, measure, filter, and control liquids, from ingredient addition to finished-product transfer.

Equipment: Liquid mixers, liquid filters, liquid level sensors, liquid feeders and dosing pumps, transfer pumps, tanks, vessels, and heat exchangers.

Project, Installation & Startup Support

Bring new equipment into your food production process with a coordinated plan.

Support: Application review, equipment selection, supplier coordination, installation planning, commissioning assistance, troubleshooting, and DHA coordination with specialist partners.

Match the Equipment to Your Food Process

Tell us about product-contact materials, dry cleaning or washdown, allergen changeovers, ingredient characteristics, and available space. We help identify suitable equipment and confirm application requirements with the manufacturer.

Need IBC handling, storage, drying, or another process step? Start with your application and we will help identify the options.
