This month, air is on the cover. AERIS is featured on the cover of the November 2026 issue of Tecnica Molitoria, the Chiriotti Editori trade journal dedicated to grain processing and related industries. Our cover message, La qualità si respira (“You can breathe the quality”), introduces the work we do with flour mills, from designing new air treatment systems to upgrading and maintaining existing installations.
Air treatment for the flour milling industry
Dust extraction and pneumatic conveying systems remove air from the mill during production. That air needs to be replaced and distributed across production areas. Balancing supply and extraction is the starting point for maintaining the required pressure levels and assessing filtration, ventilation and environmental control needs.
AERIS designs dust extraction and filtration systems and air handling units (AHUs) for make-up air and pressurisation. Depending on the mill’s needs, these solutions can also incorporate heat recovery from process exhaust air, adiabatic cooling using IHS®Ds technology and humidity control. We assess how each system will work with the process equipment and the installations already in service.
Upgrading existing air treatment systems
Expanding a production line, adding machinery or changing extraction airflow rates can affect the air balance throughout the mill. Uneven air distribution, rising energy consumption or difficulty managing summer temperatures can also indicate that the existing system needs reviewing.
We start by assessing the system in operation to determine which components can be retained and where an upgrade would be most effective. The work may focus on a specific area, such as filtration or ventilation, or extend to air handling units, air distribution and controls. We agree the scope and schedule with the customer around the mill’s production requirements.
One partner from design to maintenance
AERIS gives mill operators a single point of contact for technical assessment, design, supply and commissioning, as well as ongoing support for systems in service. Our services include planned maintenance, functional checks, troubleshooting and the supply of spare parts and replacement filter elements.
Whether you are planning a new installation, investigating a recurring issue or scheduling maintenance, our technical team can assess the work in the context of the mill’s overall air system and production requirements.
