Key Technology Introduces High-Capacity Vibratory Conveyors for Advanced Applications
Key Technology launches high-capacity vibrating conveyors for sophisticated food handling applications. These extra-large, high-capacity conveyors can transport up to 45,359 kg of product every hour and are available in widths of more than three meters. They can be designed for grading, aligning, distributing, and other specific food-handling duties.
Key’s Iso-Flo, Impulse, Zephyr, and Marathon vibratory conveyors achieve new levels of adaptability at high throughputs while delivering industry-leading reliability, outstanding sanitation, and low maintenance requirements.
“As demand for processed foods continues to grow, processors are looking to maximize production capacity on existing lines and install new lines capable of higher-than-ever throughputs. Key’s high-capacity conveyors support these objectives while helping processors streamline operations, reduce labor, and maximize profits. Our deep expertise in natural frequency, electromagnetic, and horizontal-motion food conveying makes Key Technology uniquely positioned to design and build these high-capacity systems. They require a sophisticated understanding of how various foods must be conveyed and the ability to customize each conveyor around the application requirements – not just any equipment manufacturer can do this,” Jack Lee, Duravant Group President – Food Sorting and Handling Solutions, mentioned.
These high-capacity vibratory conveyors are ideal for potato strips, chips, snacks, and more. Key customizes the tune and stroke of each vibratory system to match the needs of the application so conveying performance is optimized.
“Key’s specialized conveyor designs help facilitate more sophisticated functions even at high capacities, including grading, removing fines, dewatering, distributing and spreading product for sorters and other downstream equipment. The conveyor spring arms can be positioned either on the sides of the bed or underneath it. Drives can be positioned outside, inside, or even close to the center of the frame. The design and rigidity of the frame are also customized depending on the application. Each conveyor can be installed in a variety of different ways – suspended from overhead, supported from the floor, or mounted to other machinery,” according to a recent press release.
Iso-Flo, Impulse, Zephyr, and Marathon conveyors are backed by Key’s industry-leading warranty, which ensures equipment reliability and reduces the processor’s total cost of ownership. Key supports its customers worldwide through an extensive sales network and a global service team.
