Today, frozen food manufacturers are producing more products and SKUs than ever before, and they’re often doing it on existing infrastructure. This means their equipment, including conveyor systems, need to be versatile enough to handle different product lines and designed for fast cleaning to minimize downtime.

To accomplish higher production rates, companies need to gain a full understanding of how their sanitary conveyor systems interact with other machinery and equipment. As equipment becomes more complex, the key is to understand the relationship between each component to best maximize the overall throughput and improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
