From the ice storage the flake ice has to be transported to the mixer of the batching plant. Again several options are possible:
Option #1: Blowing system
This system is ideal for transporting ice over longer distances or for multi-icing stations. Basically, it consists of an air-lock rotary valve and a high-volume and low pressure blower, which transports the ice pneumatically through a pipe line (4”to 6”) to a cyclone receiver above the mixer (after being weighed) or above an intermediate holding hopper (day tank) from where the ice is transported to a weigher above the mixer.
