The invention relates to a transfer system (1) for use in a barrier system (2) and to a beta component (8) for use in a transfer system (1) and to a barrier system (2) and to a production facility (3).

A line having a food processing apparatus and a packaging machine between which a placement and transport apparatus is provided that has a plurality of tablet trays on which food products are placed and with which the food products are transported towards the packaging machine, the tablet trays move in a contact-free manner along a closed transport surface; a method for producing packaged food slices using the line, the food products are deposited onto the tablet trays and then transported towards the packaging machine; a method for cleaning the line, the tablet trays are lifted from the transport surface and the transport surface is cleaned with a cleaning liquid; and a method for cleaning the line, the tablet trays are removed from the transport surface and cleaned in a cleaning machine.

A warewasher conveyor assembly that may be a loader version or an unloader version for a commercial dishwasher. The warewasher conveyor assembly has a base and a chain conveyor assembly movably mounted to the base. The chain conveyor assembly is movable between a generally level in-use position and a tilted cleaning position where one end is raised, which allows for more convenient cleaning. The warewasher conveyor assembly also includes a movable support, such as a gas spring, which holds the chain conveyor assembly in the cleaning configuration. Related methods are also disclosed.

A housing element (1) for the magnets (12, 14) of a support and guide magnetic structure (100) for conveyors (102) with articulated links is described. The housing element comprises a box-shaped body (10) comprising two seats (24, 26) for the magnets, openings (28, 30) for inserting the magnets in the seats, a housing portion (32) for a ferromagnetic plate (34), which is designed to come into contact with the magnets, and at least one retaining portion (36) to retain the magnets to the box-shaped body. The retaining portion is shaped and sized in such a way that it can retain the magnets by friction, while the plate is held in the respective housing portion by the magnetic force of the magnets. On the external surface of the box-shaped body at least one notch (38), which is designed to house and retain at least one corresponding sealing element (40), is obtained. This sealing element is arranged to prevent the access of unwanted substances inside the seats of the magnets and the housing portion when the housing element is mounted onto the support and guide magnetic structure.

An antimicrobial conveyor belt apparatus comprising multiple segments each having a body portion and interlocking fingers extending from the body portion. The segments comprise a polymer composition comprising from 50 wt. % to 99.9 wt. % of a polymer, from 0.01 wt % to 10 wt % zinc, optionally from a zinc compound, less than 1 wt % of a phosphorus compound, and from 0 wt % to 20 wt % molding additives. The conveyor belt apparatus (or the segments thereof) demonstrates a Staphylococcus aureus log reduction greater than 1.0, as determined via ISO 22196:2011.

The invention relates, inter alia, to an apparatus for transporting objects. A sealing device seals between a first space and a second space and has a liquid channel for accommodating a sealing liquid for sealing. A conveying device has at least one movement apparatus for transporting an object. The at least one movement apparatus has an object holder which is arranged in the second space. The at least one movement apparatus has a connecting region for guiding, driving and/or supporting the respective movement apparatus, which is arranged in the first space. The at least one movement apparatus has a support connection which connects the connecting region and the object holder to one another. A section of the support connection extends through the liquid channel for immersion in the sealing liquid.

A grader system for weighing and distributing food parts to achieve a desired batch weigh includes a conveyor system with a plurality of cups moving along a pathway that encounter a weigh station. The cups are mounted on a tilt frame that is connected to the conveyor system by a support frame assembly and an arm assembly. The support frame assembly is constructed with an open design forming cavities that can be cleaned when the grader system is in use. The arm assembly is at the exterior of the frame assembly and is constructed having a T-shaped cross section permitting cleaning. The tilt frame assembly includes feet that move along rails connected to a load cell at the weighing station.

A feeder bowl and preparation system for packaging stick-like objects including a feeder bowl, vee shaped spacing conveyor, and a collator mechanism which permits a robotic pick-up station sufficient time to pick and place the stick-like object. The system simplifies programming the transfer of the objects by presenting a desired amount of product for a specific picker and allowing time to pick and place the object, the system eliminates a feed rate by a robotic process in the system, the system allows for essentially higher feed rate overall due to an oriented pick-up area presentation, and the system provides a sanitary design compatible with a transfer of food products in a food industry.

An apparatus for transporting food slices having at least two conveyor belts, at least two drive rollers, each of the at least two conveyor belts can be guided about one of the respective at least two drive rollers and can be driven thereby, a moveable frame including a plurality of plug-in axles, each of the plurality of plug-in axles being securely connected to the moveable frame, the moveable frame is moveable between an operating position and a maintenance position, in the operating position, the at least two drive rollers and the plurality of plug-in axles are arranged parallel to one another and each of the at least two drive rollers is arranged laterally between two plug-in axles.
