Belt Conveyor for Granules in the Food Industry
Problem definition
Unpackaged granules need to be transported in a food production application. The conveyor technology needs to provide constant transport in a straight line; there are no requirements regarding the position or orientation of the product being conveyed. The system is part of the main production flow. Applicable food production regulations must be adhered to.
