Vibratory Conveyor, Iso-Glide

Key Technology Inc., an ISO-9001 certified company, has introduced its newest Vibratory Conveyor, Iso-Glide. An engineered modification of Key's popular Iso-Flo vibratory conveyor, Iso-Glide achieves a motion that resembles horizontal motion, which maximizes sanitation while offering gentle handling and quiet operation. Iso-Glide can perform a range of product handling and packaging distribution functions, including scale feed applications. It is ideal for many frozen food processors. Iso-Glide allows processors to experience the continuous self-cleaning benefits of horizontal motion conveying but on an Iso-Flo platform. Product virtually slides along the stainless steel conveyor bed, which prevents the build-up of coatings, oils, and seasonings. By limiting vertical acceleration to almost 1g, Iso-Glide helps reduce plant-level noise that traditional direct drive or other vibratory conveyors can produce with conveying surface-to-product contact. Iso-Glide uses an independent, frame-mounted drive and spring arm assemblies that distribute energy equally to all parts of the conveyor bed in a controlled, natural-frequency operation. This operating principle minimizes vibration being transferred to the structural support, reducing the cost of installation and enabling the conveyor to be installed exactly where it is most beneficial – suspended from overhead, supported from the floor, or mounted to other machinery. Iso-Glide is backed by Key's industry-leading five-year warranty, which ensures customer equipment reliability by design, maximum return on investment, and the lowest total cost of ownership. The company is a leading designer and manufacturer of process automation systems, integrated electro-optical inspection and sorting systems, and processing systems.
