Custom conveyor
A new Spiralfeeder flexible screw conveyor automatically transfers fine powders that cake and clump without clogging the conveying tube while fine powders move from hopper to discharge in a first-in, first-out process. Suitable for transferring powdered sugar, starch and other non-free flowing materials and ingredients, the sanitary flexible screw conveyor also keeps any fine particles enclosed in the powder transfer system, eliminating the potential for dust to escape into the work environment.

Safe and sustainable lubricants
A blown hose spewing a petroleum-based lubricant around a food processing plant could be disastrous. That’s not the case with food grade hydraulic fluids. Bio-Food Grade Hydraulic Fluids for food and beverage processing equipment are multi-functional, biobased formulations that include ingredients that are Generally Regarded As Safe (GRAS), contain no VOCs and are safer for employees and the environment. Available in ISO viscosity grades 15 and 22, they meet or exceed the requirements for food grade lubricating oils for use on food processing equipment. They are acceptable as lubricants with incidental food contact (H1) for use in and around food processing areas. Plus, there’s a sustainability aspect: They’re formulated from renewable agricultural plant resources.
