Every process starts with the intake of raw materials or products, which are then processed into the desired product. How these products enter your process largely depends on how they are delivered. Whether they come in bags, Big Bags, tank trucks, or silos, Dinnissen can ensure safe and efficient emptying in every situation. This applies to both fully automated and partially or fully manual solutions. Dinnissen examines your product and your process and then advises on the most suitable solution.

An efficient start to your process
Product intake has a significant impact on the entire production process. If product intake is delayed, the rest of the process will also be affected. This first step is crucial for the entire production line. It’s also important to minimize product loss during intake and ensure as much product as possible enters the process. The goal is to achieve the fastest and most efficient product intake while prioritizing safety.
Product intake often involves bulk materials in sectors such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. These materials can be delivered in various ways and quantities. With years of experience in process technology, Dinnissen knows exactly how each product should be handled during intake to ensure that the following steps in the process run smoothly and efficiently, achieving the best results with minimal effort.
Our intake and emptying solutions
The solution you choose largely depends on how your product is delivered. For emptying bags, Dinnissen offers the DIMA® Bag Emptying System, which is used for materials like coffee or cocoa. For emptying Big Bags, the Modular Big Bag Unloading Station and Big Bag Conditioner have been developed, while drum, container, and IBC emptying systems are available for drums, containers, and IBCs. Dinnissen understands that every process is different and provides tailored installations. The final design of a system depends on factors such as the amount of product to be handled, the desired level of automation (manual, semi-automatic, or fully automatic), and the required hygiene standards.
Curious which solution best fits your production process? Dinnissen is happy to work with you and provide tailor-made systems based on your specific product and process needs.
Applications of intake and emptying
In every industry where raw materials and products are processed into final products, product intake plays a crucial role. The properties of the product are not the only factors in determining the right system; the industry also plays a significant part. For the food industry, hygiene standards are much stricter than those in the feed industry, and the chemical industry works with very different substances compared to the pet food industry.
FOOD, FEED & PETFOOD
Within the food processing industry, products such as cocoa, sugar, oil, dairy, or coffee are typically handled, while in the feed and pet food industries, the focus may be on pellets or maize. In industries dealing with vitamins, minerals, and oils, such as pharmaceuticals and chemicals, specific solutions are also required.
BAGS, BIG BAGS, TANK TRUCKS OR SILOS
No matter what product you are processing, it must enter your processing line in some way. Whether your product arrives in bags, Big Bags, tank trucks, or silos, Dinnissen can ensure safe and efficient emptying in every situation. This applies to fully automatic, semi-automatic, and manual solutions. Dinnissen looks for the best-fitting solution for both your product and your organization.
Minimum product damage
A high-quality product starts with quality raw materials. Additionally, how these raw materials are handled is critical. You want to minimize product damage, loss, and intake time. With years of experience handling various grains, powders, and granules, Dinnissen offers reliable expertise for your intake process.
Ensuring quality
Dinnissen stands for reliability. The world’s leading producers place their trust in Dinnissen’s solutions. Our ISO 9001 certification demonstrates that our processes meet international standards for systematically delivering products and services that comply with relevant laws and regulations. Additionally, the entire organization is ISO 14001, 27001, and 45001 certified, showcasing that our environmental management system, cybersecurity, and labor conditions meet internationally accepted standards.
Upon request, we provide solutions that meet the EHEDG guidelines. Hygienically designed machines prevent contamination in the products being produced or processed, allowing food producers to use our solutions with confidence. The machines are built with stainless steel that is treated in such a way that nearly no product residue remains. The easy accessibility for cleaning also ensures long-term quality assurance of the machines. Many of Dinnissen’s machines are available in ATEX versions, making them safe to use even in environments with explosion risks.
Process as part of the total solution
Looking for more than just a single machine? As a system integrator, Dinnissen delivers complete production lines from A to Z. Taking a holistic approach, we evaluate the entire production facility and optimize layout, setup, and system architecture. The goal: maximum output, efficiency, and minimal downtime in the smallest possible space. Dinnissen integrates all machines and systems for every step of the process into one complete production line, in a highly automated system wherever possible. From specification to service. From product intake to packaging. And from machines and systems to full control and automation. To ensure a well-functioning and robust production line, Dinnissen keeps as much as possible—from engineering to production and from control to commissioning—in-house.
