The Changing Role Of The Food Conveyor In Modern Manufacturing

While it may seem that the food packaging conveyor is just an efficiency tool in modern manufacturing, supply chain and market needs tell a different story. Then there are the precision needs of industry 4.0 manufacturing where automation relies on their precision and regularity that goes beyond that of human handlers to meet its process and throughput needs. The ability to present the product to the machinery at the right time and the right way is vital to food production and packaging. Food conveyor manufacturers have responded by developing new technologies in belting and motion control to meet today’s high demand and subsequent production throughput needs. This includes development of electrical control systems that ensure seamless integration with production packaging systems. The role of the conveyor in modern manufacturing is about more than just the need for throughput, speed, and accuracy. It’s equally about the need for food conveyor manufacturers to ...
