The innovative Aeolus Lactose Transport System prevents lactose fouling in the production process. This clever, patented design of bends and switches reduces friction and turbulence of the product during pneumatic transport. Because lactose no longer builds up in the system, production has to stop up to 12 times less often for cleaning. This can result in 8-12% more production days per year and huge savings in labor costs.
Process:
Conveying & HandlingThe Aeolus Pneumatic Lactose Transport System -developed in cooperation with a major dairy company- prevents lactose buildup during pneumatic transport. This reduces the need for cleaning up to 12 times and drastically reduces downtime.
In the dairy and food industry, fouling of lactose transport pipelines is a major problem. To ensure product safety and quality, lactose-containing products are often processed in hygienic production processes. Due to the strict hygiene requirements, cleaning pneumatic conveying systems is a time-consuming and labor-intensive job. The piping of the conveyor system has to be disassembled, after which it has to be cleaned with hot water. To prevent bacterial growth, the pipes must be completely free of moisture before the system can be reassembled.
The cleaning process mentioned above takes several days at a time and often needs to be repeated every 8 weeks. With the new Aeolus System, you prevent lactose accumulation, reducing the need to stop production for cleaning up to 12 times. This can result in 8-12% more production days a year. In addition, it results in huge savings on labor costs.
The Aeolus concept also improves product quality; because there is no more accumulation of lactose, the passage diameter in the tubes remains at a maximum during transport. This results in continuous product flow and quality, as there is no more product accumulation and therefore no loss of transport speed, no damaged particles and less chance of bacterial growth and product contamination.
The Aeolus Lactose Transport System is specially designed for pneumatically conveying lactose and lactose-containing substances to prevent lactose build-up. The innovative shape and construction of bends and corners minimize friction, turbulence and wear. Less abrasion around corners prevents fouling. Instead of using coatings, the product design of the various components such as bends and switches has been optimized. The Aeolus transport concept is also suitable for transporting other (lactose-free) substances at risk of fouling.

Service on weekends
One day there was an important issue and one of Dinnissen's engineers immediately took action during the weekend. I have never seen other foreign partners do this.
Mr. Kimio Aono- Founder - APTe Japan
Fully automated sampling
We considered several machine developers, but the high quality of the Dinnissen machines and the competence and commitment of the employees were decisive for us.
Arjan van Dijk- Project Manager - Ausnutria
Drastically improved feed-quality
90% of our customers with laying hens have already switched to the new feed produced using the Pegasus® mixer and the Thermidor® system.
Kurt Egli- Former manager - Egli Mühlen
High-quality vacuum coaters
We chose to work with Dinnissen because they supply high-quality vacuum coaters that fit exactly within our production lines.

Quadrupled production capacity
In collaboration with Dinnissen, we have quadrupled our production capacity from 3 to 12 tons per hour.
Harald Schmalwieser- Managing Director - Solan
The importance of hygiene and safety requirements
Dinnissen fully understood the importance of hygiene and safety requirements in our industry. They went the extra mile by providing us with all the necessary documentation, all ATEX drawings, and full traceability.
Anton Vleeshouwers- Project Director - DSM
World player in process technology
To realize production processes of the best quality, we work closely with Dinnissen: One of the strongest players in the world in process technology and hygienic design.
Gerben Koopmans- Project Engineering Manager - Nestlé
No challenge is too big
At Dinnissen, they think in terms of challenges, not problems. They don't give up and keep going until there is a solution that satisfies all parties.
Martin Sonneveld- Production Director - United Petfood Waalwijk
Mixers have been running 30 years
Dinnissen machines may not be the cheapest in terms of purchase price, but in terms of value for money, there are none better. Our Dinnissen mixer has been running extremely reliably for 30 years.
Adwin van der Vorst- Directeur - VDV Group
Technicians, not salespeople
Dinnissen's representatives strive for the best solutions. They are engineers first and salespeople second.
Frans van Zutven- Founder and Director - Van Zutven
Tailor-made solution for every problem
What charmed us most about Dinnissen was that they responded perfectly to our questions each time: they jumped right in and quickly came up with a tailor-made solution to each problem.
Jos Falvay- Project manager - Perstorp
Six-fold increase of total production
Production has gone from 3-5 tons per day to 30 tons per day. That's a six-fold increase in total production.
Michiel de Boer- CEO - Nöll & Co.
Mixing time of 60 seconds per batch
Previously, we had standard times in the mixing process of 14 - 15 minutes. With the Pegasus® mixer we achieve a mixing time of 60 seconds per batch.
Lothar Pixa- Director - Planta
Filled three complete factories
Dinnissen has filled an entire factory for us with a complete production line, on three different occasions. They just get it right: from mixers and sifters to sampling and automation.
Erik Schut- Managing Director - Jonker & Schut
Customized mixers
Dinnissen thought along with us from start to finish. For example, they used existing drawings for these new mixers to save us costs in the engineering phase.
Pieter Gorter- Project Manager - ForFarmers
