This month’s Dry Processing Products cover conveying and other equipment in the dry processing space.

The functional foods manufacturer recently installed the 10th vacuum conveyor at its 200,000 sq.-ft. facility.

The 1150 fabric constant turn conveyor is designed to help food processors speed up production lines and keep products moving efficiently through manufacturing lines. 

A series of stainless steel plastic chain conveyors was built to transport both full and empty cases of food product through nearly 50 ft. of conveyance.

At a glance, it might seem that most conveyors are doing their job as long as they shuttle items from one point to another. However, a number of other elements must be present for a conveyor to be efficient and productive in a food-processing environment, like hygienic design, cleanability, versatility, updated technology and more.

The company’s family of 4-axis SCARA robots now includes the SR-3iA, SR-6iA, SR-12iA and new SR-20iA models with 3 kg, 6 kg, 12 kg and 2 0kg payload capacities, and a 400-1,100 mm reach, respectively.

Wolverine Packing Co. reimagined existing equipment and installed new conveyors and material handling equipment to help scale up its production.

The BULK-OUT BFF Series discharger features top-mounted receiving cups and a removable bag-lifting frame for forklift loading of bulk bags. 

The knowledge gap about conveyor types can result in extreme consequences when delicate materials or precise blends must be reliably conveyed.
