Rückverfolgbarkeit von Schüttgütern in der Lebensmittelverarbeitung

Abstract

(E): The traceability of food, feed, food-producing animals, and any other substance intended to be, or expected to be, incorporated into a food or feed shall be established at all stages of production, processing and distribution.” [EG02] The traceability of bulk materials in the field of food technology is a challenging task, which is not sufficiently solved with the state of the art. Where the material is not actively conveyed, but flows by itself under gravitational influence, static models as used today for silo management, are only conditionally usable. Computational traceability models based on the theory of cellular automaton represent a new and precise way to realize the batch wise storage of easily flowing to slightly cohesive bulk solids in large silos or stockpiles. In this contribution, solutions as well as application examples are presented, with which it is possible to reproduce bulk materials in large masses and volumes with high resolution in real time via statistical flow models.
