Portion Cutter

Using an indexing motor coupled with an ultrahygienic, ultrasonic blade, the Deville Technologies portion cutter facilitates the reduction of a variety of products that come in a rectangular loaf format, from those that are extremely soft and/or sticky in texture to firmer products, which are subsequently fed to a downstream dicer or centrifugal shredder. The blade is constructed of 304 stainless steel, while the welds are polished to Ra32 (34 finish). The portion cutter is equipped with a human-machine interface (HMI) screen to facilitate recipe settings.

Air Cleaner

Typically installed at receiving, the Key Technology air cleaner separates and removes extraneous vegetable matter and debris early on the production line. The #16 air cleaner uses positive airflow, which moves through the product as it falls above a diagonal screen, to push light debris up and into a collection hood. It o ers airflow up to 538 m3/min (19,000 cfm), depending on the application. Suitable for wet or dry products, each air cleaner is integrated with either a dewatering shaker or transfer shaker.

HIGH-PRESSURE PROCESSING SYSTEM

Scalable from 4,000 to 7,000 lb, the Quintus high-pressure processing system features an 18.5-in. diameter vessel. The modular QIF 400L system has a 700-sq-ft footprint for streamlined installation and an algorithm-based condition monitoring system that reduces the risk of unplanned stops. It incorporates features such as frequency-controlled motor drives, cloud-based press management software, and a wire-wound pressure vessel design. Quintus Technologies | quintustechnologies.com

Hygienic Conduit

Rated up to IP69, the Atkore hygienic conduit provides a visual indication of sanitary conditions and prevents contamination from oils, dirt, dust, and liquids. The FDA-approved Calbrite white, liquid-tight, stainless-steel flex conduit has a compression strength up to 225 psi, tensile strength to 285 lb, and an operating temperature range of 0 to 275°F, making it suitable for washdown and other harsh environments. ROHS- and REACH-compliant, the conduit also meets NSF and ANSI 169 requirements. Atkore | atkore.com

Transport System

The Beckho transport system includes no-cable technology that enables individual movers to serve as mobile handling and processing stations, essentially creating a flexible multi-robot system. The hardware required for the transmission technology is fully integrated into a motor module that mounts on the eXtended transport system mover. Control of the hardware is fully implemented in standard TwinCAT software. With the no-cable technology, the quality of products on the mover can be checked while the process is running. The data communication is real-time capable and can synchronize system-wide events.

DOUBLE-DIAPHRAGM PUMP

Featuring a self-priming, seal-less design, the Graco double-diaphragm pump o ers a range of materials of construction to support multiple hygienic applications. The electric Quantm pump is built to be a reliable dropin replacement for current pneumatic pumps or greenfield construction. With built-in controls and no gearbox, the pump fits seamlessly into most fluid transfer applications.

Screw Conveyor

Designed to transfer a variety of powders, granules, pellets, and other dry, bulk materials, the AFC screw conveyor allows full access to the bottom of the hopper and tube inlet for the emptying of residual material. The Spiralfeeder Push Unit solid screw conveyor sets the drive mechanism, hopper, and screw conveyor o the floor on a rolling, open, steel frame. To empty the system, an operator shuts o the power, removes a tri-clover fitting, places a collection bin or bag underneath the conveying tube, and turns the screw conveyor on in reverse. Material entrained inside is automatically collected for return to storage or for reuse.

Static Neutralization Systems

Simco-Ion systems provide in-line ionization for neutralizing static charges on materials passing through pneumatic conveying systems. The IQ Power BPS-C upgrade allows advanced monitoring and control of static eliminators located within Simco-Ion Conveyostat systems. When connected to an IQ power control station, the upgrade allows the static elimination system to communicate directly with a PLC via one of six supported protocols, enabling information to be reported and recorded at it.

Continuous Processors

Suitable for plant-based meat products, Readco Kurimoto continuous processors integrate mixing, heating, flavoring, seasoning, forming, and texturizing steps into a single, automated step. The units feature a co-rotating, twin-screw configuration with a variable paddle arrangement inside a sealed, ASME-rated barrel that combines multiple liquid and dry ingredients simultaneously. High-shear zones disperse proteins and other sticky ingredients in the required proportions. Emulsions are formed quickly and remain in suspension throughout the process.

DUAL-SHAFT MIXER

FDA-approved, the Ross dual-shaft mixer batches dispersions, suspensions, and emulsions with viscosities up to several hundred thousand centipoise. The FDA-3500 mixer has a maximum working capacity of 3,500 gal, a two-zone stainless-steel dimpled jacket for heating/cooling, 4-in. pneumatic discharge valve, and explosion-proof load cell system rated for up to 20,000 lb. The multiagitator system is equipped with independently controlled drives. Powered by a 300 hp TEFC inverter duty motor, the disperser runs at tip speeds up to 5,000 ft/min, while the 60 hp three-wing helical agitator feeds product toward the disperser blade. Teflon scrapers on the anchor wipe materials from the vessel wall.

WIRE-BELT CONVEYOR

The Multi-Conveyor wire-belt conveyor has a pivoting discharge end that comes down to convey o a bad batch or group of bad product into a tote or bin. After the batch or group has been rejected, the discharge end pivots back up. A pneumatic air-operated box enclosure houses controls for the air-actuated reject to pivot in the up or down position. A manual override selector switch allows an operator to pivot the discharge on demand. The sanitary, food-grade, stainlesssteel wire-belt conveyor features hygienic, articulating, adjustable pad-style feet and bearing caps that keep grease from gathering inside, while cleanout holes and an open mesh top enable spraying water all the way through the conveyor.

Batch Retort Process

Providing control of process media fluid dynamics and the path of least resistance, the Stock batch retort process produces shelf-stable in-container food and beverage products. The ImmersaFlow process uses a closed-loop column of process water, channeled through a plenum and closed wall baskets. Outside the basket, the retort shell is primarily empty. The process can achieve 4- to 6-min come-up times, with as little as a 2°F spread between the geometric center and perimeter of the load.
