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.

Robot packaging line for cookies
The challenge
Developing a feeding system for a large range of different cookies (packed and naked) to go from bulk to individually positioned on a conveyor belt to be picked up by a pick and place robot and put in a tray.
How FoodeQ has approached this challenge
After an intens R&D programme, a concept solution was presented. Together with the customer, a test set-up was developed and extensive tests performed. Based on these results, full scale prototype line was build and tested again. After passing all tests, 16 lines were build and positioned with the robot for a final FAT.
How this project helps the customer further
The 16 lines each process 90 cookies per minute, making the customer less dependent on staff availability. The entire packing line can be run in a more reliable manner.
The special thing about this project
It’s the FoodeQ “creative technology” that makes this project special. A great solution has been developed to handle a difficult product and deliver it in a constant and well-ordered manner onto a conveyor belt for the robot to pick them up. It wasn’t easy and an interesting challenge, but our engineers met the challenge successfully!
