Company:
Snacks
Application:
Conveyor with 2”pitch flat top plastic modular belt handling popcorn products.
Challenge:
The customer experienced build up of product on the underside of the belt, requiring the belt to be removed frequently to be washed. Potential for product to get trapped under the fixed side guards and then transferred into the packaged goods. Occasional product spill as the flights on the modular belt struggled to contain the product.
Solution:
✔ Volta FDR-DD-V1
with baseless sidewalls and special bent flights. The retrofit involved replacing the drive and tail sprockets with Volta sprockets.
Result:
✔ Reduced Cleaning Costs:
Product build up on belt underside is greatly reduced allowing the belt to be cleaned in place between product changeovers saving approximately 14 hours labor each week.
✔ Improved Product Quality:
Better product containment within the baseless sidewalls and special bent flights. Baseless sidewalls mean there is no longer potential for product to get trapped under the fixed conveyor side guards and improving overall product quality.
