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.

POTATO CHIPS DAY!
Chips, like so many other culinary items, were discovered purely by accident and the cause was a disgruntled customer in a restaurant. In 1853, American chef George Crum accidentally baked the very first chips at Moon’s Lake House Hotel in Saratoga Springs (in New York State). A difficult customer kept sending the fried potatoes back to the kitchen because they were too thick. At long last, Crum, who apparently had quite a temper, decided to slice the potatoes so thin that you couldn’t eat them with a fork. To Crum’s surprise, the customer was super excited about his fried potato chips. Crum put the potato chips on the menu. They caught on with the regulars and were soon called ‘Saratoga Chips’ and became very popular. From there it’s only a small step to packaging them in bags, but that didn’t happen until the early 20th century, as they were first sold in cans.
One of the most famous chip producers was Herman Lay, who founded his own company – Lay’s – in Nashville and made chips famous throughout the United States. In Europe, it was a certain Frank Smith who was responsible for that. He emigrated from the US to England and started his own potato chips factory. However, we had to wait until the 1950s for a Dutch potato grower named Gerrit Kistenmaker to learn from Frank Smith how to make potato chips. Together they founded Smiths. In 2001, the name changes to Lay’s.
