CONVEYORS

INSPECTION SYSTEM

BUCKET WASHER

Dorner Manufacturing's new 2300 and
5300 Series conveyors, part of the DustPruf product line, feature a streamlined
frame design that virtually eliminates all
catch points where particulates or debris can collect. The DustPruf Series also
operates 20% more efficiently in comparison with other competing conveyors because of an FDA-approved, low-friction
coating on the bedplate, which lowers energy consumption. Because the conveyor
frame is smooth with no slots, customers
can use the patent-pending SmartSlot
system of self-tapping screws and a cordless drill to quickly attach any guiding
and automation accessories necessary for
their application. Phone (800) 397-8664;

The Q-Bake visual inspection technology from EyePro
System can be applied to both
flour and corn tortillas. A
true-color camera head measures physical dimensions as
well as other attributes including bake color, toast points,
tags, bites, holes and surface
defects. The Q-Bake enables
100% online inspection. It can
automatically reject out-ofspec products. The Q-Bake is
easy-to-use technology with
real-time statistical process
control. Data collection-andreporting capability is a key
tool to manage quality and
efficiency in today's bakeries. Phone (816) 361-7987;
