The Hapman MiniVac pneumatic conveyor’s tool-less, side-door filter access allows operators to quickly wipe down the system and change out filters for batching and general maintenance.


Bulg bag discharger

Material Transfer’s Material Master bulk bag discharging system provides sealed discharge of fine, dusty powders.


Rotary valve

Coperion Corp.’s USDA Dairy Grading Branch-approved and certified rotary valve/rotary airlock works in the production of food, pet food and dairy grade powders.


Sanitary bulk bag dump batching system

Flexicon’s combination bulk bag and manual dump batching system weighs bulk materials that are discharged from bulk bags and/or manually dumped from sacks, boxes and other containers, and empties the batch into mobile storage bins.


Controller aids product flow

Thayer Scale’s Bridge Breaker controller (BBC) is a self-contained unit capable of operating a variety of flow-aid devices (FADs) for the purpose of ensuring material flows freely through a hopper, bin or silo at variable flow rates.


Check weighers

Hardy Instruments’ Enviro checkweighers and bench scales withstand high-pressure, high-temperature washdown environments, and are NTEP Class III certified. Made of 304 SS, the checkweighers feature an IP69K-rated housing.


Size/density separator

Kason Corporation’s Vibro-Air size/density separator simultaneously employs vibratory screening and airflow to remove fines and chaff from grain products.


Processor saves money buying in bulk

Bulk-bag discharger allows the purchase of 1-ton bags of ingredients instead of multiple, smaller and more costly bags.

Gravimetric feeder control

The Model HI 1756-FC single-feeder control module mounts directly into an Allen-Bradley ControlLogix chassis. 


Explosion-proof drum discharger/feeder

The explosion-proof drum discharging and feeding system inverts drums of dusty powders and meters the material into an existing screener.


Bulk-bag discharge system

The SacMaster bulk-bag discharge system’s design accommodates bag tensioning, hoist or forklift loading, height adjustability and the manufacturer’s “Posi-Flow” agitation system.


Screw conveyor seals

Model HB high-performing, standard-sized seals for screw conveyors and similar equipment replace waste-pack housings on horizontal, inclined or vertical screw conveyors.



Screening conveyor

The sanitary stainless-steel screening conveyor is designed to remove fines, broken pieces of product and/or agglomerated, oversize particles from finished food products.



Inline powder induction system

Charles Ross & Son Company’s SLIM system improves inline powder induction in a liquid stream.



Enclosed conveyor

The aero-mechanical conveyor is a high-capacity enclosed machine that can move product at any angle, including vertically, up to 60 ft., at rates of up to 120 tons/hour. 


Bulk bag material conditioner

Material Transfer’s bulk bag material conditioner uses hydraulically-actuated pivoting conditioning arms and a rotary lift table to safely and efficiently return solidified materials to a free-flowing state.



Magnetic screens for food safety

Sifter Parts & Service supplies both magnetic stainless- steel screens and nylon mesh screens to help bakeries and food processors eliminate the possibility of metal particles in their product and increase food product safety. 


Dry ingredient dispenser

Ingredient Masters’ new dry ingredient dispenser design was created for processors who need dispensers to empty completely for one of several reasons: sanitation, the use of very high-value ingredients, or batching operations where tolerances are so close that even minor variances are unacceptable.


High-capacity screener

The 60-in. Vibroscreen with External Kascade, vibratory screener discharges oversize particles 360° around the periphery of a circular screening deck.



Eliminate agglomerations, lumps

LumpMaster eliminates lumps and agglomerations in fats, sugars, sludge cake, waxes or other materials that compact. 


Bucket elevators
