Dorner Expands AquaGard™
Conveyor Platform

New belt options make stainless steel conveyor line the ideal option for fullest array of food industry applications

Earlier this year, Dorner Mfg. Corp. proudly introduced AquaGard™ – a platform that offers maximum flexibility for a wide variety of products and applications while increasing throughput and reducing product loss. The stainless steel platform was rigorously designed to deliver industry-leading speeds, best-in-class transfers and ease-of-automation to the bakery, snack food and confectionery markets.

This October, Dorner is strengthening its AquaGard offering with the addition of the 7360 Series – a fabric-belted platform with 25 belt options. The fabric belts complement the former modular plastic belt offering. This platform is designed to support a variety of applications like curing, cooling and small product transfer. Plus, it provides an ideal handling solution for many products – whether they are small, in-bulk, sticky, moist, delicate or fragile.

"With the addition of so many new belts, AquaGard is – without question – the 'go-to' conveyor platform for an unmatched breadth of food industry applications," said John Kuhnz, marketing manager for Dorner Mfg. Corp. “The AquaGard platform can essentially handle all bakery, snack food and confectionary applications, while also providing other important benefits, including the fastest available speeds, flexible automation and industry-leading durability."

Capable of sustaining speeds as fast as 300 feet per minute, AquaGard provides unmatched throughput to improve bottom line results. In addition, to reduce product loss, the 7360 offers one-inch nosebar tails for small part transfers, a powered transfer for maintaining speeds through transfers and a roller transfer plate.
