A hot sticky product, needed to be kept warm, be transported in a tight plant layout requiring a long and inclined conveying distance with high food safety and easy cleanability.
Inclined Vibratory Conveying:
The plant layout called for an inclined conveying angle of 10° and a low product inlet height in addition. Not all products are good for inclined vibration, but tests showed that a powerful vibration by a specific stroke, shape and frequency was needed for this specific product – and the Alvibra VibraDrive® offers all of that.
Long Distance Silent Conveying:
An almost 8 meter long inclined smooth transport was required too. The Alvibra patented VibraDrive® system is good for both short and very long conveying distances of e.g. 10 m, 20 m or more – and with just 1 drive. At the same time, it is a low noise vibration system, which is of high importance to the safety of the operators in most plants today.
Heated Conveyor for Sticky Products:
To reduce product sticking to surface, it was discovered that if the conveyor was kept 80°C warm during operation, the product would stick less. Consequently, we integrated an oil heating system in the conveyor trough bottom.
The conveyor is designed in AISI316 stainless and has electropolished product contact surfaces to ease the cleaning and reduce product sticking.
Enclosed Ventilated Design:
Lids were integrated to keep product warm during the 8 meter long transport and to reduce heat and moist evacuation into the open room. If required, for further moist or ventilation control, the conveyor is prepared for connecting an air circulation system to each end of the conveyor.
Hygiene and cleanability:
The conveyor is designed with smooth surfaces and soft corners for easy cleaning. And clearly the conveyor and documentation is made in accordance with the EU 1935/2006 directive. The electropolished product contact surfaces further increases food-safety. The conveyor has a drain outlet for cleaning water – and the hinged lids have quick-lock for easy opening and for full access to clean and survey the entire product contact zone.
