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.

MAINTENANCE-FRIENDLY EQUIPMENT AND SHORT CHANGE-OVER TIMES ARE ESSENTIAL
Tuinderij Vers – perhaps contrary to what the name might initially suggest – offers a highly varied range of ready-to-eat vegetables, stews, vegetable mixes, salad mixes, ready-to-eat meal salads, etc. “In particular, we supply the country’s largest supermarket chain,” says Wilfred Hameeteman. He has worked here since 1993 and says he has seen the company grow year on year. “People’s diets have changed tremendously in recent years. People just want a healthy meal on the table quickly, and the supermarket offering responds to this. So we consistently invest in the latest machinery and technology so that we can maintain and further expand our position in this particular market segment.”
Tuinderij Vers is a round-the-clock operation where fresh produce arrives and leaves processed every day. The cutting and washing of products takes place in the Cutting Department, the department Wilfred heads. The products then proceed to the department where ingredients are mixed according to the recipe and then on to the packaging department.
In 2017, FoodeQ was able to supply a first infeed conveyor for the block cutting machine. Until then, crates weighing up to 20 kilos were lifted manually onto the 1.60-metre-high machine, which was hard work. “FAM, our supplier of 3D cutting machines, pointed us in the direction of FoodeQ. They designed a conveyor for us to feed the block cutting machine.”
More has followed since then. “Multiple conveyors in various departments, weighing tables and a sieve shaker designed so that we can easily run multiple products over it,” says Remko Bergwerff. “Easily changeable so we can quickly rotate through with different products each time, ranging from cauliflower florets to sweet potato.”
Remko and his team of 10 are responsible for all the equipment and technology in the factory. “Everything FoodeQ delivers to us is cleverly designed without nooks and crannies behind which dirt can collect. So very hygienic and extremely easy to maintain, which is critical in the food processing industry. Koen van Geel understands this, and he has a team behind him with whom we can work well. For the latest line, they recently delivered an output shaker with weighing station. Again, a masterpiece of craftsmanship. FoodeQ is helping us move forward.”
