Spiroflow and Cablevey Conveyors Collaborates with Oat Co.
Spiroflow and Cablevey Conveyors, operating as part of Automated Handling Solutions (AHS), have recently collaborated to provide Scottish oats producer, Oat Co., with a bespoke conveyor system. The solution has helped increased productivity and allowed Oat Co. to minimize hazardous dusting, maintain product integrity and meet hygienic requirements for food handling.
Oat Co. Scotland utilizes an oat mill specializing in gluten-free operations and needed to replace its existing bucket elevator for rolled oats with a new conveyor system. To meet food safety standards, the solution needed to be fully enclosed to ensure that the oat-based products were not contaminated with external foreign particles during the conveying process. The company also needed to eliminate "dead areas" where the product could accumulate and degrade. It also had to be designed to fit Oat Co.’s existing setup and integrate with its current oat mill.
