Key Technology introduces the re-engineered Iso-Flo with monobeam construction.
This new family of vibratory conveyors features a frame made of a structural member.
The monobeam conveyor’s frame and spring arms can be tucked completely under the conveyor bed.
The narrow frame offers less than half the surface area of other Iso-Flo frames, fewer parts to clean and better access to the conveyor bed.
The single beam design eases the sanitation routine and enhances equipment hygiene to reduce the risk of product contamination and maintain food safety.
The monobeam architecture can be used on distribution shakers with side discharges as well as transfer, collection, feed and inspection shakers.
With the frame and spring arms located under the conveyor bed rather than on both sides, monobeam inspection shakers enable laborers to get closer to the bed for improved product visibility and ergonomics.
In addition to the sanitary enhancements associated with its simplified frame, the single beam design offers the sanitary advantages of traditional Iso-Flo shakers.
The stainless steel conveyor bed features a standard rotary polish within the product contact zone, which resists bacterial attachment and biofilm formation compared to a 2B mill finish.
Standard oil-free drives, elastomer isolators, scalloped flat bars, internal ground arms and no laminations maximize equipment hygiene and help meet rising sanitary standards and regulatory requirements.
The monobeam frame is sloped to prevent product and moisture build-up that can harbor bacteria.
With Iso-Flo monobeam construction, there are no significant limitations in length or throughput compared to traditional Iso-Flo shakers.
Monobeam conveyors can be floor-mounted with four legs or two legs on T-bars, or they can be mounted to other machinery or suspended from overhead.
These conveyors process and package fruit, vegetables, potato strips, potato chips, nuts, meat, poultry, seafood, dairy products, confections, snacks, bakery products, cereals, grains and seeds.
All Iso-Flo conveyors, including the monobeam models, use independent, frame-mounted drives and spring arm assemblies that distribute energy equally to all parts of the conveyor bed in a controlled natural-frequency operation.
