Their innovative RENU™ drying and milling system is designed for any organic food products such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes and grains. Utilizing a low-temperature Impact Flash Drying technology, GTF is able to produce highly nutrient-dense powders.
Knowing that manually feeding the RENU would be impractical for operators, GTF required an easier way. They needed a solution that would be easily cleaned and sanitized, as the RENU handles a wide range of organic materials. Quick and efficient washdowns are needed for such products in demanding food processing environments.
Triton Innovation, LLC was selected to provide custom hygienic Z-Style Conveyors to automate the infeed process and increase production flow for their RENU system. Up to 2,200 pounds of organic materials are transferred to the RENU Mill per hour, replacing manual scooping with a continuous and reliable material handling solution.
To meet GTF’s sanitation requirements, Triton incorporates custom clean-in-place systems including automated, hands-free belt cleaning and tool-less discharge chutes for quick and easy access during scheduled washdowns. These features eliminate the need for operators to carry tools up a ladder to remove fasteners for cleaning access, improving safety and efficiency within a limited space.
Triton’s solutions prioritize operator efficiency, meet hygienic demands, and reduce downtime between product changeovers. After a successful collaboration on their first project, Triton became GTF’s “first call when looking for future conveyance systems” and has been an important part of the RENU system’s continued growth and production capabilities.
