Conveying frozen foods to and from the freezer requires an efficient, transferless conveyor design. You want to move your frozen products into the freezer as soon as possible after processing. Once you are ready to package, you need the same speed and efficiency to ensure the products don’t thaw before returning to cold storage for customer fulfillment.
SideDrive Conveyor Co. uses a modular design to configure a single, continuous conveyor that serves the entire facility, built around your floor space constraints. You can elevate or lower items in a smaller footprint using more tiers to avoid aggressive inclines and declines than a traditional conveyor because of the unique Intralox belting and our spiral technology.
Our spirals are a compact way to bring products to or from the floor level without increasing the footprint of the system. Because we eliminate transfers, you won’t lose small products in catch-points that are inherent in most conveyor-to-conveyor transfers.
With our design, you also have the ability to move products up and down within the same footprint. This is great for products like:
You gain many more benefits from our edge-driven belt technology while saving space, reducing product loss, and improving your Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). The sanitary construction allows you to optimize your cleaning regimes, which increases plant productivity. The design eliminates harborage points common in traditional spiral conveyors like drum cages, reducing the risk of food contamination and product recalls.
The plastic belting is lightweight, reduces wear and tear on the system, doesn’t require lubrication and increases the life of the conveyor. We can integrate our spirals with a long-run, continuous conveyor according to your precise application requirements.
SideDrive Conveyor Co. provides engineers with the required design freedom that traditional conveyors often lack. Our modular design can fit into your existing facility layout and utilize the vertical space available more efficiently. You can say goodbye to long inclines and declines from and to your freezers while gently lifting and lowering products with an edge-driven spiral conveyor.
