T.L. Green Biscuit & Cracker, a division of Reading Bakery Systems, offers the Independence Wirecut Machine for wire-cut cookies and other low-pressure dough-forming applications. The machine uses a filler block that funnels dough from the grooved forcing rolls into the die cups mounted above the wire-cutting mechanism. At the bottom of the die, the dough pieces are cut at speeds of up to 150 cuts per minute and dropped onto a transfer conveyor belt or solid oven baking band.

SpanTech has introduced the Low Profile Idler Assembly. Product as small as 4 in. can be transferred without stalling and without the use of a transfer bridge. The small profile height also allows smaller clearances for stacked conveyors. Maintenance is simplified, thanks to the single-bolt removal capability of the Idler Wearstrip. In conjunction with the SpanTech Intermediate Drive Unit, the idlers can be used at both ends of the conveyor.

METTLER TOLEDO’s new SWS310 tension weigh modules with the SLS410 load cell let users convert a suspended hopper or vessel into a scale. The mounting hardware is durable enough to withstand harsh industrial environments and support the vessel safely. The clevis and rod assemblies are able to compensate for slight misalignment, which helps provide accurate and repeatable weighing.

On Dorner Manufacturing’s new Unibar Fastener Clipper Splice, all the teeth or hooks are joined by a single bar stretching the length of the conveyor. This feature prevents teeth that may become loose during operation from detaching from the conveyor belt. The splice also has a lower profile, giving the belt a smoother surface and reducing the chance for teeth to catch and capture fragments of moving product.
