Canning & Bottling Conveyor Solutions

Dorner’s AquaPruf and AquaGard series conveyors are specifically designed to operate in wet, harsh environments. Featuring stainless steel construction, open frame designs, and components engineered for maximum drainage and cleanability, our conveyors can withstand frequent washdowns and resist corrosion. This ensures reliable performance and longevity, even in the most challenging conditions.

Absolutely. Dorner offers a range of conveyor solutions that can handle the high speeds demanded by modern canning and bottling operations. Our AquaGard GT conveyors, for example, are specifically designed for high-speed bottling and canning applications, with capabilities of up to 222 feet per minute. We can also customize our systems with features like nose bars, powered transfers, and timing screws to ensure precise, stable product transfer at high speeds.

Gentle handling is a top priority for Dorner and Garvey, and we offer several solutions to ensure delicate containers like glass bottles are processed with care. Our conveyors can be equipped with specialized belting options, such as non-slip or cushioned surfaces, to provide a secure, gentle grip on containers. We also offer customizable guide rails and product handling devices to maintain precise control and minimize the risk of tipping, scuffing, or other damage. Our engineering team will work closely with you to design a system that provides the optimal balance of speed, stability, and gentle handling for your specific containers.

Dorner’s conveyors are designed to promote consistent, reliable product handling throughout the canning and bottling process. By providing precise product positioning, smooth transfers, and stable conveyance, our systems help minimize variations and defects that can impact product quality. We can also integrate our conveyors with inspection and quality control equipment, such as vision systems and checkweighers, to detect and reject non-conforming products in real-time. This helps ensure that only the highest quality products reach your customers, protecting your brand reputation and customer satisfaction.

At Dorner, food safety is a top priority. Our conveyors are designed and manufactured to meet or exceed the strictest food safety regulations and standards, including those set by the FDA, USDA, and 3-A. Some key features that ensure compliance include:

•  Use of FDA-approved materials, including stainless steel, food-grade plastics, and specially formulated belting
• Hygienic design principles, such as open frame construction, sloped surfaces, and minimized crevices to prevent debris accumulation
• Easy-to-clean features, like removable belts, tool-less disassembly, and accessible components for thorough sanitation
• Compliance with industry-specific standards, such as 3-A Sanitary Standards for dairy processing equipment (when applicable)

We can also provide documentation and support to help you validate your conveyor system’s compliance with relevant regulations and standards, giving you peace of mind and confidence in your production processes.
