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.

TIMELY MAINTENANCE PREVENTS DOWNTIME AND EXTENDS THE LIFESPAN
For any type of production machine, timely maintenance is key. In heavy industry and (petro)chemicals, major shutdowns are strategically planned and prepared for months to minimise downtime. There, every minute of downtime costs an enormous amount of money. The same applies in the food industry, yet preventive maintenance is still underutilised and that is a missed opportunity.
Too often, maintenance is reactive, meaning action is only taken after a failure occurs and this often leads to unexpected production stops with all the associated consequences. This can be prevented.
In many cases, quieter periods in the production year are predictable so that is the ideal time for maintenance. A well-prepared plan shortens maintenance time and that’s a great win.
Mark Leenders, Account Manager Services & Spare Parts at FoodeQ, explains: “Good planning means fewer labor hours are needed and parts and service specialists are available. Timely maintenance also prevents unnecessary wear on critical components and keeps your equipment in top condition. This way you improve the performance of the entire production line.”
More and more FoodeQ customers recognise the importance of a maintenance strategy and have entered into service agreements with us. Mark Leenders would be happy to discuss this with you. We assess your current setup, evaluate the situation, advise on the best approach and develop a tailored maintenance plan to ensure uninterrupted production. Email mark@foodeq.nl for a service appointment.
