Leading global provider of materials handling solutions, Interroll, has a deep understanding of the importance of food safety and hygiene compliance for food processing companies. Its Special Hygienic Conveyor (SHC) has been designed to revolutionise food safety and operational efficiency.
The SHC transforms packed food applications, delivering remarkable advancements in performance. As a paltform solution, the modular hygienic platform offers flexible modular solutions based on hygienic product design principles – enhancing food safety, extending shelf life, and optimising energy and operational efficiency.
Unbeatable hygienic performance
In the highly regulated environment of food processing and production, Interroll’s conveyors play a crucial role in maintaining strict hygiene standards and preventing cross-contamination.
The Special Hygienic Conveyor is designed specifically for packed food applications. It features a modular stainless steel platform and highly hygienic drum motors, guaranteeing reliable and efficient material flow in food production environments.
Sanitary Design and Cleanability
Cleanability is a key focus for conveyor systems. Interroll understands the need to minimise areas where food particles, debris, or liquids can accumulate, ensuring thorough cleaning and preventing bacterial growth. Interroll conveyors feature smooth surfaces, rounded corners, and open-frame designs that facilitate easy cleaning and maintain a hygienic environment.
Its platforms are easy to clean and manufactured from corrosion-resistant materials that are capable of withstanding harsh cleaning agents and high-pressure washdowns. All components are waterproof to at least IPX5 certification.
Flexibility and Adaptability
Food processing companies often deal with diverse product sizes, shapes, and packaging formats. Interroll’s solutions are designed to be flexible and adaptable, accommodating different products and production requirements. The modular designs allow for easy reconfiguration, adjustable speeds, and customisable options to meet the changing needs of food processing companies.
Customers can customise the SHC to meet their specific length and width requirements, as it consists of eight different modules. Its integration capabilities with existing systems offer versatility, accommodating changing needs and evolving production demands.
Efficiency and Sustainability
Sustainability is a priority for Interroll and the business is committed to developing energy-efficient conveyor systems that facilitate increased throughput while reducing environmental impact and operational costs for end-users. Its conveyors feature technologies like variable frequency drives, optimised motor control, and energy recovery mechanisms to achieve energy efficiency and promote sustainability in food processing operations.
The SHC’s Zero Pressure Accumulation feature is a first for the food sector. It ensures that products are conveyed quickly and smoothly without ever coming into contact with each other. This feature not only enhances efficiency but also contributes to sustainability efforts by reducing environmental impact and operational costs by up to 50%.
Each component has been designed minimise downtime, reduce product handling time, and ensure smooth material flow. The conveyors also integrate with automation and control systems to streamline processes and minimise the need for manual intervention, enhancing overall efficiency.
Product Integrity and Gentle Handling
Interroll’s conveyor systems are designed to ensure gentle handling, preventing breakage, crushing, or distortion. The platform includes features such as adjustable belt tension, cushioning devices, and specialised transfer mechanisms to minimize product damage and maintain product quality.
Maintenance and Reliability
Interoll’s extensive experience in the food sector ensures the SHC’s reliability and performance, reducing unplanned downtime for food processing companies.
Like all of its systems and components, it requires minimal maintenance, provides quick access to critical components, and can be linked to remote monitoring services allowing for the quick detection of potential issues.
By partnering with Interroll, food processing companies can benefit from the business’s expertise in addressing the unique sector challenge. Interroll collaborates with industry experts, conducts site visits, and maintains ongoing communication with customers to continually improve its conveyor systems and provide tailored solutions.
Customers can trust Interroll’s expertise and global availability to revolutionize the way packed food applications are handled, optimising efficiency, reliability, and product safety throughout the process
