HYGIENIC STAINLESS STEEL SORTING

Cremer has launched a line of hygiene-centric counting machines designed for easy wash-down. The WD Series is designed for precise counting and dispensing of individual food products in a variety of applications where cleanliness is paramount such as poultry, meat, seafood, cheese, confectionary, and bread products. Counting food products by the piece is regarded as the most efficient, cost-effective alternative to modern weighing and pick-and-place systems for a wide range of products, as counting accuracy is not affected by small weight variations between individual pieces. These machines are specifically constructed to thrive in the harsh working environments typically encountered where washdown procedures are necessary.

ROTARY PRECISION FOR TRAY LOADING

With features that include precise bowl and tray loading, servo controls, and easy cleaning and maintenance, Triangle’s Tray and Bowl Loading systems offer plenty of benefits to refrigerated and frozen food processors. The system includes a single- or dual-rotary depositor for precise, targeted fills into small trays or rigid containers – even those with partitions. Featuring a unique design that reduces transfer time by moving with the container during the loading process, product can be discharged from an intermittent scale and easily adapted to a continuous bowl/tray system. Applications include HMR meal kits, IQF or fresh poultry, fresh or frozen produce, IQF specialty items or blended products, and cheese, as well as hard-to-handle odd-shaped or sticky products.
