Food & Pet Food Industries
Below is a selection of the most common applications covered by Skako Vibration units.
HANDLING RAW VEGETABLES
Under primary dump hoppers, surge hoppers or transfer chutes, type CCU conveying feeders with either electro-magnetic or unbalanced motor drives, offering infinitely variable or fixed feed rate control. Available in either general or food quality stainless steel finish.
CARROT LENGTH GRADING
Specialist stainless steel vibratory conveyors to grade up to 3 carrot lengths. The sizing apertures are available with manual or hydraulic adjustment. Units from 500 - 2000mm wide available. Integral orientation guides allow for inline or angled feeds to the length graders.
VEGETABLE BIT REMOVING
Custom designed feeders and conveyors to remove undersize and 'bits' following vegetable slicing and dicing processes. Depending upon the application, units can have infinitely variable electro-magnetic or fixed feed rate unbalanced motor drives. For vegetables like carrot batons, the unit would include orientation guides.
HANDLING FROZEN FOODS
Multiple applications include bulk feeders for accurate discharge onto transfer feeders loading process equipment, vibratory conveyors for general transportation, and automated charging of multi head weighers. All units from stainless steel, including special 'patterned' surfaces.
CONVEYING SUGAR & POWDERS
Tubular vibratory conveyors allow for both raw and finished products to be transported without degradation to the material. Available in 6 standard diameters from 160 - 560mm, with lengths of up to 10M, from either stainless steel or mild steel. Usually with fixed feed rate unbalanced motor drives. Capacities up to 80cu.m/hr.
INSPECTION & ORIENTATION VIBRATORY CONVEYORS
Custom designed type CC conveying feeders, to perform numerous functions, including positioning, sorting and ensuring singlulated feeds. They can be combined to allow inspection and sampling duties. Either electro-magnetic or unbalanced motor drives can be utilised to give either an infinitely variable or fixed feed rate control.
DISCHARGING IBC BAGGED MATERIALS
Either custom designed or standard FC modular feeders to discharge rigid or bagged raw and finished materials in the food or pet food sectors. With either infinitely variable electro-magnetic or fixed speed unbalanced motor drives, they are normally between 280 - 800mm wide, and totally enclosed dust proof designs.
BLENDING PET FOOD BISCUITS
Utilising the FCE modular feeder with infinitely variable electro-magnetic drives, with totally enclosed dust proof design. In mild steel or stainless steel, with 5 standard widths from 280 - 1000mm. Available with optional material sensors and shut off gates. The feeders are controlled via thyristor controllers, which allow for fully automatic feed rate control and regulation, from external reference signals.
