Food Conveyor System
Sapcote Engineering was awarded the phased work packages valued in total at just over £1mn for the turnkey mechanical design, manufacture and install of a large food conveyor system for a leading food manufacturer. The key challenge was to install relatively large conveyor sections into a heavily congested busy production area. 3D scanning of the area was essential to be confident the new conveyors would fit the first time as the removal of the old system meant major disruption to production schedules if there were any unforeseen issues. Stainless steel construction featuring single drum drives, proportional control auto-tracking and auto-tensioning. Cooling hoods were required on certain straights and 90 degree bends sections to drive the product temperature down for chocolate enrobing.
