ADVANCED CLEANING SOLUTIONS FOR CONTAINERS IN THE PROCESSING INDUSTRY.

accuracy. At 5 kg, for example, this scale can operate at up to 60 weighments per minute, at an accuracy of ±5 g. Use this system to weigh a variety of bulk dry, free-flowing grains, granules, and powders into bags, boxes, gaylords, and totes of all sizes. Automation like the GFW handles higher target weights, and complements Yamato’s high-speed, high-accuracy combination scales, that tend to be more suited to lower

In a dramatically di erent application, weight-wise at least, weighing and filling leafy greens can be a challenge to automate, and labor is getting harder to find. To address this, Yamato demonstrated how to remove manual labor from packaging lines and fill and tamp salad with its Yamato Automatic Diving Funnel (ADF). Featuring a rugged, low-maintenance design, this in-line tray filler ( 15) seamlessly places and tamps leafy greens into trays, bowls, and other rigid containers. The hygienic design keeps product safe from contamination, and ratio filling minimizes product damage. Increase production capacity while drastically reducing labor costs with the Yamato ADF.

The new patented hygienic SSVXP Drum Motor ( 16) from VDG (Van der Graaf), making its debut at PACK EXPO International, is designed with an exchangeable profiled sleeve that enables di erent belt profiles to be used without changing the drum motor. The profiled sleeve slides o the drum motor and is easily removed and replaced with another profiled sleeve to match the modular belt required on the conveyor. With the SSVXP design, if the belt on the conveyor is required to be changed to a di erent belt profile, then only the sleeve needs to be changed over and not the entire drum motor.

“From a design perspective, the main point is sanitation,” says Alex Kanaris, president of VDG. “The traditional way of driving conveyor belts [sprockets on a square drive shaft] is not sanitary. A traditional belt drive has many crevices and spaces that trap food byproducts and harbor bacteria, and it takes twice as long to clean using a significant amount of water. The drum motor with the continuous profile sleeve eliminates these harborage areas and is faster and easier to clean, saving time and water.”

The hygienic SSV-XP Drum Motor is available in a range of diameter sizes, belt speeds, horsepower, and profiled sleeves for a variety of conveyor belt manufacturers to suit various belt conveyor applications.

The SSV-XP also has a slide-on/slide-o continuous profiled sleeve over the drum motor that attaches simply with six screws, provides the fl exibility to adapt to various types of conveyor belts without removing the drum motor, and exceeds sanitary standards.

Batch cooking

Mepaco showcased its ThermaBlend batch cookers (17), which provide up to 50% more heat transfer area than hemispherical kettles and other conventional jacket cookers. ThermaBlend cookers deliver quick, homogenous blending while minimizing shear with e ective agitator designs, and also minimize burn-on while optimizing heat transfer with a durable, bi-directional scraper system.
