Based on what your business needs, conveyors for food processing can serve different purposes. They can be designed to meet stringent USDA/FDA standards. Or they can be used to lower operating costs by simplifying the cleaning process.

Types of Food Grade Conveyors

There are four different types of food grade conveyors:

Washdown

Entry-level, stainless-steel conveyor used for primary packaged food like dairy products. Has features like food-grade bearings and sanitary motors that can handle a high-pressure sprayer and higher levels of cleaning chemicals.
