Conveyance
Machines Conveyance
Vibratory technology is an effective method for conveyance of products within a food processing plant.
The vibratory conveyor is an extremely hygienic and efficient machine for conveying a wide range of food products.
DewateringMachines Dewatering
In the food processing industry, water is often used to clean and convey products.
A dewatering conveyor is an excellent technical solution for the subsequent removal of water from the product.
SizingMachines Sizing
There can be many reasons for size grading of food products.
In general, product sorting - to ensure that the product meets customer-specific requirements - is performed using sizing techniques, and this usually calls for a customized solution.
GradingMachines Grading
Grading with a FoodeQ vibratory conveyor can be carried out in several different ways, and through the use of certain vibrating screen variants.
We produce sorting conveyors with multiple screen layers, one per graded fraction of the product.
DistributionMachines Distribution
Vibratory conveyors are eminently suitable for distribution of the product flow from a narrow conveyor that feeds a wider machine - up to five times as wide.
For example, we often spread products across a wide belt for drying, frying, cooling or freezing.
DefattingMachines Defatting
Baked or fried products discharged from an oven or deep-fryer will inevitably be covered with some residual oil or fat.
A vibration conveyor with heat tracing from FoodeQ can eliminate surplus oil or fat from the product while it is being conveyed to the next station.
DosingMachines Dosing
Vibratory technology is an excellent solution for dosing/metering of food products.
An important benefit of vibratory technology is that vibrations do not damage the product when used to stimulate a product flow from a buffer vessel or hopper.
Multihead feed conveyorsMachines Multihead feed conveyors
Vibratory technology is the best solution for ensuring a controlled and accurate product feed to weighers.
The weighers, either linear or multihead, optimize the “feed” by controlling the conveyor.

PLANNED PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE IS PREFERABLE TO REACTIVE REPAIRS
Downtime is expensive, especially if it concerns unplanned downtime. “When we moved to our new premises situated at Warwickstraat we raised the stock of spare parts, everything in line with the increasing number of machines that we deliver and support,” says Manager Services Rick de Feijter. “That means extra certainty for our customers, but in case of an emergency they still have to reckon with time for response, travel and repair so prevention is better than cure. Planned preventive maintenance is the best investment to assure that production lines run smoothly at all times and that is why more and more customers have a FoodeQ support contract. The newest generation of vibrators often come with a rate monitor. This way you can monitor the health of a machine – also remotely – and this helps to undertake action before a failure occurs. If required, we also equip older shakers with a rate monitor to improve the operational availability.”
Jaco van der Jagt emphasises the urgency of a good inventory: “It is of great importance to know exactly which critical components are needed in a client specific situation in case of a failure. We keep the common components in stock and so do some of our customers, but the drive motor or pump – exactly tailored for the production environment of a client – most likely has to be ordered in a foreign country and then valuable time may be lost. That is why people invest in an identical spare unit for critical situations. We advise what steps to set to improve the OEE of your production machines.”
