ProForm was asked to help design two conveyors in a 24-hour, 7-day a week, refrigerated cookie production/packaging line.

SCOPE

– Design conveyors that would be hooked up to existing electrical systems – Engineer the equipment to be used in a 24 hour, refrigerated environment – Manufacture and finish to sanitary food grade level for food safety requirements – Design conveyor belt that is very accessible and easy to clean – Add emergency safety feature to the conveyor for a quick way to stop the line if needed

PROBLEM:

The bakery plant needed 2 custom conveyors for their cookie line. One was needed to transport raw cookies out of the freezer another conveyor was needed to move raw cookies to the bagging station.

SOLUTION

ProForm designed and fabricated conveyors that functioned very well in transporting the cookies efficiently through the bakery’s production and packing process. The conveyors were not only very durable, but also easily accessible to clean.   Additionally, the plant manager wanted a safety stop that was in close proximity to any operator that needed to quickly stop the line. To fulfill this objective, ProForm added a red emergency stop cable which ran along the entire length of the conveyor.   Operators no longer had to get to an emergency stop button located outside the room.
