Conveying
Impulse - Collection Conveyors
Collection Conveyors gently collect product from other processing machines to minimize damage and converge product flow.We design and build conveyors for your application. Washing, drying, cooling, spreading, aligning and elevating are just some of the other functions our collection conveyors can perform while preparing your product for the next step in the process. Explore the variety of conveying technology we offer below.
Horizon - horizontal Motion Distribution Conveyors
A horizontal motion conveyor that features gentle, quiet, and sanitary horizontal motion conveying for distributing many fragile, seasoned, coated, and frozen food products. Food processing often requires the product flow to be separated into multiple streams for efficient processing. Distribution conveyors control product flow to downstream equipment using gates and diverters to meter the product by the optimal amount. Explore the variety of conveying technology we offer below.
Key Technology - Horizontal Motion Feed Conveyors
A horizontal motion conveyor that features gentle, quiet, and sanitary horizontal motion conveying, Horizon is ideal for many fragile, seasoned, coated, and frozen food products. Feed conveyors optimally present your product to the next piece of processing equipment to maximize yield and improve performance of the downstream equipment. Key’s decades of experience and modeling provide the highest level of performance and fit specifically designed for your product and the mating equipment. Explore the variety of conveying technology we offer below.
Impulse - Electromagnetic Conveyor
Our Impulse electromagnetic conveyor provides gentle product handling for the more fragile products requiring scalping, size grading or other product separation functions. Grading, sizing and separating are essential functions in your processing line. Key’s industry-proven conveyors are built with our reliable Vector-Lock™ clamping system that securely holds screens, yet allows for quick removal for cleaning and change-over. Screens are available in a variety of styles to align, singulate, dewater, length grade, width grade, scalp, move product up an incline or even perform several functions in a single operation. From the simple to the complex, Key’s Grading, Sizing, and Separating Conveyors are known to be the best most robust and reliable in the industry.
Sorting
Key-Technology - Model ADR - Module System
Key’s ADR Module is an integrated system of conveyors, sliver sizer remover, ADR 5, and rotary size graders. The system removes defects from potato strips while recovering strips that are too small, nubbins, and slivers for co-product processing, increasing plant efficiency and overall yield.
Cayman - BioPrint Sorter
The Cayman BioPrint sorter is capable of detecting the unique biological characteristics of each object, resulting in a most accurate sort even when defective product or foreign material are similar to good product in color, texture or shape. Cayman can keep up with very high defect levels in the product stream, and is easy to operate thanks to its intuitive UI and “Start and Sort” operating principle.
Cleaning
Herbert Star - Cleaning System
Efficient separation of clods and soil from produce
Herbert - Model Plus - Coil Cleaner
The Coil Cleaner Plus spiral cleaner moves the crop continuously, separating loose soil, clods and small potatoes from the main crop.
Grading
Herbert - Dry Brush Unit
Electronic variable speed drive. Simple single chain drive system. Adjustable top rubber flaps to retain the crop on the brushes. Hard wearing bristle brushes. Hydraulic hand pump adjustment. Available in 13 or 21 row. 600mm, 900mm, 1200mm or 1800mm widths. Driven top brushes to increase cleaning action. Stainless steel construction.
Processing
Key-Technology - Air Cleaner
Simple and efficient, the Air Cleaner separates your product from leaves, stems, chaff, or other light trash. The specially engineered separation chamber and diffuser grid system produce an equally distributed air pattern that improves separation and reduces residence time and damage from unnecessary product drops.
