In Search of a “Better Mouse Trap”

A major confectionery manufacturer in North America made contact with Mucon sister company in the U.S. in the hope of finding a solution currently encountered with their existing Roller Gate Valve. The problem the end user was experiencing lay in their agglomeration process where very fine sugar was being handled and which continually leaked from their incumbent Roller Gate Valve.

Mucon Sales and Engineering personnel worked closely with the end user to understand their issues and to design a stainless steel Roller Gate Valve which did not leak or jam. Upon completion of the Mucon Roller Gate Valve, Mucon personnel were invited to be present at a ‘Supplier Acceptance Test’ to witness the trial and answer any further questions that may arise.

The Mucon custom made Roller Gate Valve was connected to a sanitary vacuum connection and was found to work exceptionally well. In fact so well that the Catch Pan that was supplied to receive waste material was redundant.

The Mucon custom made Roller Gate Valve comes with a progressive loading technology that rivals other valve designs and eliminates the need for any vacuum connections or catch pans to collect material or prevent product that may ingress into the valve body.

The confectionery manufacturer was so pleased that their expectations had been exceeded that they not only purchased the product that was trialled, but they stated that they plan to replace their existing Roller Gate Valves with those produced by Mucon.
