Everyone whos ever taken a biology class knows that bacteria are the most abundant life form on earth. Theyre everywhere. But one place they shouldnt be is in the conveyor system of a major nutritional bar manufacturer. Our clients old conveyer used a bucket and chain system to move ingredients through the plant. Buckets and chains, it turns out, are prime bacteria hangouts. Cleaning this antique system to the required levels for the food industry soaked up valuable man hours … hours that couldnt be used in production. So the company asked Automation Supplies to come up with a solution: an easy-to-clean stainless elevating belt conveyor system that (oh, by the way) also had to negotiate a 23-foot rise in elevation at a 60° angle.

Dorner engineers recommended the AquaPruf LPZ Series stainless steel elevating conveyor system. Thanks to its configuration versatility, the AquaPruf LPZ made short work of the steep rise in elevation with no expansion of the existing system footprint. AquaPrufs FDA-approved Mol Industries solid urethane belt is easy to clean and works like a charm in wet or humid environments, with no hinges or pins that might make bacteria feel welcome. Like all AquaPruf conveyors, the belt is easily replaced and major components can be removed without the need for specialist tools or knowledge. Details can be found at http://www.automation-supplies.com where product catalogue downloads are also available.

Now the companys production is well within recommended sanitation guidelines. Theyre spending less time scrubbing nooks and crannies, and more time getting your nutritional bars ready.
