Snack and bakery industry customers want belts and conveyors that are fast and easy to clean, maximize energy efficiency, offer strength and durability, require as few tools as possible, and provide flexibility to either switch out products and/or run multiple products at once, according to manufacturers of those components.
Customers of Dynamic Conveyor Corp., Norton Shores, MI, want to be able to clean their belts and conveyors more quickly for the time and money savings, says Paul Kuharevicz, sales project engineer. “Anyone in food knows that’s where you can make or lose your money. You have to do it very, very well. And they want everything to be toolless,” he says. “Our conveyors break down very quickly. What we hear is, ‘How much time can I save?’”
