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.

INVESTING IN SPARE PARTS PAYS OFF
Spare parts are required for maintenance and repair work. To ensure that machines can continue to run perfectly, these parts need to be readily available. We always have the most used, universal parts on the shelf. If we happened to run out we made every effort to help anyway, but machines are becoming more and more complex these days. That is why we have completely reorganized our Spare Parts Department.
Maurice Bogers joined us in January 2020. Prior to that, he worked at Tummers for nearly 20 years. “I was ready for something new and I had already worked with Marinus and Jaco – we were once colleagues – and this was an interesting challenge. For many years, I was key user for Ridder. They use the same software at FoodeQ, but by linking it to the PDM system you can share valuable information and discover connections from which you can benefit.” Maurice is now the key user at FoodeQ for Ridder and he has professionalised the Spare Parts Department as part of an ongoing process.
“When I arrived, approximately 400 spare parts were registered in Ridder. Today, this number is well over 3,400 and still growing. I started very simply by opening all the boxes to see what was inside; I took inventory, categorised and noted the level of demand. The spare parts warehouse has now been doubled and each item can be traced directly. The system shows what the throughput time is and based on this, you can estimate the demand and thereby make sure the inventory is up to date to guarantee a quick response.”
We don’t have everything in stock as standard. “If you try to keep every type of motor in stock, it can be quite expensive. We do advise our clients to take such measures in certain circumstances in order to limit machine downtime.” These days, a spare parts quote is often a standard component of a quote for a new machine in order to raise the OEE. “We also recommend this for the current (production) lines. We are able to make these kinds of offers based on the available information and serial numbers. If desired, we can also schedule an on-site inspection for the purpose of drafting a spare parts quote. As the complexity of machines increases and complete production lines come to a halt if one part fails, the availability of spare parts becomes more and more important!” Interested in making an inspection appointment?
