Bleaching Earth Conveying & Handling System
Advanced Material Handling Solutions for Edible Oil Refinery Applications
Reliable, Dust-Free and Safe Handling of Bleaching Earth
AERONIX Systems LLP provides complete Bleaching Earth Conveying and Handling Systems for edible oil refineries, vegetable oil processing plants, palm oil refineries, sunflower oil plants, soybean oil plants, and specialty oil manufacturing facilities.
Bleaching Earth is one of the most critical raw materials used during the oil refining process for the removal of color pigments, oxidation products, trace metals, and impurities from edible oils.
Due to its fine particle size, dusty nature, low bulk density, and flow characteristics, Bleaching Earth requires specially engineered conveying, storage, feeding, and dosing systems to ensure reliable and contamination-free operation.
With over 17 years of powder handling experience, AERONIX develops customized systems for receiving, storage, conveying, weighing, batching, and controlled feeding of bleaching earth into oil refining processes.
What is Bleaching Earth?
Bleaching Earth is a highly porous adsorbent clay used in edible oil refining for the bleaching process.
Common types include:
- Activated Bleaching Earth
- Natural Bleaching Earth
- Acid Activated Clay
- Fuller’s Earth
The material is typically supplied in:
- 25 kg Bags
- 50 kg Bags
- Jumbo Bags (FIBC)
- Bulk Tankers
Challenges in Bleaching Earth Handling
Bleaching Earth presents several handling challenges:
High Dust Generation
Fine particles can create dusty working environments.
Material Bridging
Powder may bridge inside hoppers and storage vessels.
Poor Flow Characteristics
Material can compact during storage.
Product Loss
Dust losses increase operating costs.
Housekeeping Issues
Improper handling can create contamination and maintenance problems.
