Fortress Technology introduced a food conveyor designed to overcome the challenge of loosening belt tension when regularly sanitizing food inspection machinery and equipment.
The conveyor and tool-less maintenance design, included on the company’s new Raptor checkweighing series, introduces a tight fitting conveyor concept. It features a quick release and disassembly of the deck, belt, motor and rollers. During the sanitization process, machine operators simply unclip and disconnect the conveyor motor and lift out the entire assembly.
In just seconds, the conveyor belt is removed, along with its individual components, such as rollers and bearings. The belt tension and alignment are restored when clipped back into place after maintenance and cleaning.
To further advance inspection efficiency, the belt design eliminates noise. This can cause unwanted vibration, which affects metal detection sensitivity and checkweighing accuracy.
