Multi-Conveyor recently provided a series of common sense stainless-steel constructed, multi-sanitation level, flexible packaging food bag conveyors and separate open box case conveyor to transport from a hygienic wash down environment to case packer to palletizer.
Empty cases start out on stainless steel bolted construction conveyors from customer’s case erector. They travel through two 90° curves where they meet up with a sanitary constructed slave driven food-grade conveyor system.
The bagged food is manually placed on highly sanitary constructed transport conveyor that travels from a separate wash down area. Product travels through a wall to a case packing room. The initial food grade system features welded stand-offs for guide rail brackets, bearings, and floor supports, no exposed threads, welded internal frame spacers, removable wear strips, continuous welds, cleaned and passivated and 7GA frames.
Fixed plow rails then guide the bags off using an adjustable chute to feed the manual case packing conveyor. The case pack conveyor, although also stainless steel constructed, utilizes a more cost effective, common sense minimized sanitation level constructed conveyor requiring only bolted design, bolted frame spacers, bolted wear strips and continuous welds, providing the customer a two tiered sanitation level approach which saved them money.
The manual case loading station incorporates pneumatic clamps to stabilize cases during the loading process. A separate transport conveyor (not shown in the video) takes the full cases through a scale to the customer’s palletizers ahead.
