Food Manufacturing - July/August 2013

Company’s Multijector Vacuum Conveyors, when used with a level-controlled buffer hopper, can transfer from as little as 10 lbs./hr. to 6 tons/hr. over distances up to 200 ft., all in dust-free, operatory-friendly and healthy conditions providing sanitary, safe and trouble-free conveying. Designed to transport food particles, powders, granules, pellets, capsules, tablets and other bulk materials under vacuum, the units can supply packaging lines, mixers, filling machines, tablet presses or other types of process equipment or vessels. The cyclic vacuum plug flow conveying arrangement avoids product separation or segregation, and systems are certified as explosion proof by ATEX, requiring no additional equipment.

Food Safety Starts with StopLightTM

Food-Safe Maintenance
Chemicals
Food-safe maintenance chemicals feature
DETEX, metal and x-ray detectable plastic
packaging. DETEX technology ensures
the plastic packaging components on
Company’s maintenance chemicals are
detectable by metal and x-ray detection
equipment. This reduces the risk of plastic
from these maintenance products contami-
nating food and going unnoticed. These
products are formulated to deliver extended
equipment life and to provide potential
reductions in downtime, liability, recall risk
and the likelihood of damaged reputations.
The DETEX trigger sprayer can be filled
with food-safe maintenance chemicals that
meet plant needs. The sprayer features an
adjustable spray stream and is metal and
x-ray detectable.
