DynaClean conveyors are geared toward the demands of food processing and packaging environments. Jill Batka of Dynamic Conveyor told Food Production Daily that the conveyors offer a number of advantages over conventional stainless-steel conveyors that make them suitable for food firms.
“The design allows the conveyor to be disassembled (and reassembled) in a matter of minutes, without the use of tools, for complete cleaning and sanitation,” she said. “The conveyor is designed for quick cleaning as well; after the removable components are removed, the conveyor frame is left available for cleaning. The design includes stand-offs and no place for water to collect.”
Batka added that the system is easy to reconfigure. It can be disassembled quickly, and new components can be combined with the original to build a new configuration.
Food-grade construction
The food-grade conveyor systems are made of plastic and stainless steel materials that meet NSF, FDA, USDA and BISCC standards. The materials reportedly are corrosion resistant, non-toxic, non-absorbent and temperature resistant.
Additionally, the components are said to resist rot and will not rot or retain harmful bacteria, odors or cleaning agents. The conveyors can be cleaned with hot water, steam and/or detergents ranging from sodium hydroxide to hydrochloric acid.
Easy to clean
Staff can quickly clean the system by using the optional belt lifters, which permits access to the internal components. The belts resist bacteria growth and are easy to clean. After removal of the belt, the belt supports, drive motor and feed end roller can be removed and replaced within minutes. Also, the overall design reportedly is easy to maintain; it has no mechanical belt tensioners, external bearings or need for lubrication.
The Ultimate models feature a one-piece solid return roller that is bearing free. Stand-offs and flange head bolts are used for easy cleaning access. The drum style motor can be cleaned in much less time than a typical motor due to its smooth, stainless steel finish and the hermetically sealed and totally enclosed design.
