System improvements are prompting more processors to incorporate horizontal motion conveyors in their packaging lines.
"Vibratory motion conveyors not only give you horizontal motion but vertical motion, as well, which tends to beat off the coating on products," notes Nathaniel Tynes, design engineer with High Liner Foods Inc., Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. The manufacturer of breaded and battered frozen seafood began incorporating horizontal motion units in 2000 to evenly feed multi-head weighers.
