New Bedplate Is Perfect For Cooling And Draining

The 2200 Series with the new optional perforated bedplate is ideal for when your product needs to be cooled, when pieces need to be sprayed, or when items are damp from a previous process.

Holes in the bedplate allow air to naturally flow through the frame and bedplate to cool or to help dry the product. Any dripping fluids pass through the modular plastic belt and bedplate without collecting inside the frame. And for additional cooling or drying, the conveyor can also be connected to a vacuum to pass additional air through the bedplate.

The perforated bedplate is available on 2200 Series conveyors 12 inches or wider, and it is designed for light-to-medium duty applications. The low profile of the 2200 Series also makes it ideal for tight spaces, and it is well suited to high performance conveying, streamlined machine interface, small parts transfer, accumulation, and handling high temperature or sharp parts.

Food Safety Has More Americans Worried Than Ever Before

It seems everyday there is a new scare—from serious e-coli and salmonella to relatively minor allergens—and it appears that no food group is immune. Beef, poultry, spinach, even tomatoes have been affected. And Americans are worried:

• 57% stopped eating certain foods either temporarily or permanently
• 73% believe the number of recalls have increased over the past year
• 78% are most concerned about beef recall

And an incredible 56% surveyed believe that imported foods were “not at all” or only “somewhat” safe.

As a food producer you need to be more vigilant than ever. The last thing you want is the name of your plant on the evening news.
