Custom Food Safe Processing Conveyors

That decision depends on what is limiting your current system. Capacity, sanitation, maintenance requirements, product handling, equipment condition, and changes elsewhere on the line can all influence whether modification or replacement makes more sense. We evaluate your existing food processing conveyor and the surrounding process to help determine the most practical path forward.

Yes. Existing plants rarely provide unlimited space for new equipment. We can engineer food processing conveyor equipment around available floor space, elevations, surrounding equipment, operator access, and sanitation needs. Our capabilities include horizontal, incline, decline, curved, spiral, Z-frame, radius, and other configurations that give us flexibility when working within an existing operation.

The right food processing conveyor depends on what you're moving, where it needs to go, and what needs to happen along the way. Product characteristics, throughput, elevation changes, sanitation requirements, available space, and upstream and downstream equipment all influence the design. We evaluate the complete application to determine which conveyor type and configuration best support your process.

Yes. A conveyor affects more than product transportation. The right food processing conveyor system can help manage product timing and accumulation, improve transfers between equipment, reduce unnecessary handling, and maintain more consistent product flow. We look at how the conveyor interacts with the rest of your line so we're solving the process challenge, not simply adding conveyance.

Food safety and sanitation are considered throughout our engineering process. Depending on the application, our food processing conveyor systems can incorporate features such as non-hollow construction, continuous non-porous welds, washdown-ready designs, stainless steel components, and improved access for cleaning, inspection, and maintenance.

People safety is part of how we evaluate the entire conveyor application. We consider how employees operate, clean, inspect, and maintain the equipment, along with product flow and equipment access. The goal is to engineer food processing conveyors that support the production process without creating unnecessary challenges for the people working around them.

Table top conveyors are a strong option when your operation requires controlled product movement between processing, inspection, and packaging equipment. SCR can integrate scales, metal detectors, diverting, rejecting, traffic management, and motion controls to help maintain product flow and keep upstream and downstream processes working together efficiently.

Yes. A table top conveyor can do more than transport product from one point to another. SCR can integrate scales, metal detectors, diverting, rejecting, traffic management, and VFD or servo-driven motion control into the system, allowing the conveyor to become an integrated part of your processing or packaging operation.

Our table top conveyor systems can incorporate strategically placed sidewall cutouts for cleaning and maintenance access, non-hollow construction, continuous non-porous welds, stainless steel drive components and bearings, and washdown-ready designs. We engineer these details into the conveyor rather than treating cleanability as an afterthought.

An auger conveyor is an option when your process requires controlled movement of bulk material between production steps. We engineer the auger around your product, required capacity, transfer points, available space, and processing requirements, with options including hoppers, slide gates, load cells, covers, and different mounting configurations.

Depending on the application, SCR can engineer a screw auger without hanger bearings for lengths up to 30 feet, reducing internal maintenance points. Stainless steel drive components and bearings, wear strips or shaped troughs, and fully welded and polished flights can also be incorporated based on the demands of your operation.

Product characteristics, required throughput, transfer points, available space, elevation changes, and how the material enters and exits the conveyor all help determine the appropriate design. From there, we can configure an auger conveyor with the diameter, mounting arrangement, hoppers, gates, covers, load cells, and other features required for the application.

Depending on the application, SCR can engineer a screw auger without hanger bearings for lengths up to 30 feet. Eliminating these internal maintenance points can simplify the system while supporting reliable material movement. We evaluate the product, conveyor length, and operating requirements to determine whether this configuration is appropriate.

Vibratory conveyors are particularly useful when product needs to be moved while also being spread, screened, laned, settled, or dewatered. They can also integrate with scaling, filling, counting, positioning, and packaging processes, making them useful when controlled product presentation is important to the next step in production.

A vibratory conveyor uses controlled vibration to move and manipulate product while helping minimize product damage and yield loss. We engineer the system around both the characteristics of your product and the downstream process, helping create consistent product flow without introducing unnecessary handling.

Yes. A vibratory conveyor can be engineered to move product while also spreading, screening, laning, settling, or dewatering it. We can also integrate vibratory systems with scaling, filling, counting, positioning, and packaging processes, allowing the conveyor to perform useful process functions rather than simply transferring product.

When maintaining product integrity is a priority, vibratory conveyors can provide controlled product movement while helping minimize damage and yield loss. We engineer the system around the characteristics of the product and what needs to happen during conveyance, including spreading, settling, positioning, or feeding downstream equipment.

A drag chain conveyor can be a strong fit for demanding material handling applications, including processes that require steep inclines, multiple bottom discharge points, or movement of materials with different characteristics. SCR also offers specialized configurations for light, fluffy materials, below-ground handling, and top water skimming.

Drag chain conveyors can be engineered around how and where material needs to move, including challenging elevations and multiple discharge locations. Options such as hoppers, load cells, wear strips, shaped troughs, and ceiling-hung or leg-mounted configurations allow us to build the conveyor around your process and facility rather than forcing your process around the conveyor
