Conveyor solutions for chilled and deep-freeze environments
The need for perfect logistics processes is key in any market, but has traditionally presented challenges in chilled and deep-freeze environments. New conveyor technology offers a solution.
Food processing as well as conveying, sorting and storing packaged food and beverage are crucial processes in the food industry and Interroll offers a wide range of solutions in the field even for deep freeze logistics. Interroll’s new Modular Conveyor Platform (MCP) for chilled and deep-freeze environments, with decentrally controlled RollerDrive drive technology, expands the range of applications of the company’s conveyor solutions.
Deep-freeze logistics poses special challenges for material flow solutions but can now benefit from an efficient, zero pressure accumulation (ZPA) material flow down to minus 30 degrees Celsius (−30°C). The energy efficient 24V roller conveyors and diverters support a zero pressure accumulation operation and increases the work productivity. It can also reduce manual labour in deep-freeze temperatures and leads to a better and safer working environment.
The new deep-freeze MCP from Interroll offers flexible and scalable configuration with standard plug-and-play components. It accommodates all conveying needs and offers flexibility for future growth. The new solution has been tested in several conditions and ambient temperatures and has proven to be a solution perfectly suitable to harsh temperatures.
