- Safety guarding is recommended on equipment like the dumper shown in the animation. Relays control the e-stop position and if personnel trips the switch, the equipment will cease operation.
- This PRS (Pallet Retention System) shown on a DP3000 Dumper, and allows the combo to complete the dump cycle by separating from the pallet, limiting the potential for contamination.
- A liner hold-down prevents the liner from separating from the combo and falling into the hopper.
- A drop-tier conveyor can be included in system layouts to provide visual inspection of the food product.
- The articulating screw conveyor is designed to pivot to allow for versatile production and lower for maintenance.
- Custom stainless and passivated platforms provide personnel safety and easy access for sanitation.
- Electropolished food contact surfaces guard against bacterial attachment and create sanitation efficiencies.
- Tool-less quick-release seals provide quick access for maintenance and sanitation.
- Durable food safe coating on equipment components resists corrosion in harsh environments.
- Type 304 or 316 stainless construction is a best practice for equipment designs using either open-frame construction with exposed threads or tube frame designs with non-exposed threads.
