Efficient and effective food conveyors to increase food production

Food production lines from FlexLink increase the efficiency of food processing and packaging processes. One benefit for our customers is increased overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). A second benefit is a faster return on investment (ROI) by minimizing throughput time and non-value-adding operations.

FlexLink’s modular, flexible food automation solutions are reconfigurable and reusable. Additionally, they require minimal maintenance with low power consumption. All handling equipment can quickly adapt to fluctuations in demand, facilitating the implementation of continuous improvements and the introduction of new products (NPI). The effects are improved responsiveness in products and deliveries, resulting in a significant competitive advantage.

How FlexLink food conveyors increase OEE and reduce TCO

Consistent cleaning results for food production

Fast and consistent cleaning results

For food conveyor lines, cleaning is a major contributing factor to the production line’s efficiency. FlexLink’s food-grade conveyors are easy and quick to clean. There are no horizontal surfaces, cavities, or hollow bodies, and they have effective drainage. With easy access by design, you can inspect all areas without any heavy lifts or pinch points. This reduces the number of re-cleans by up to 90 percent and improves food safety.

Hygienic design of production equipment

The efficiency of cleaning is a major contributing factor to the production line’s downtime. If cleaning has to be repeated, it can reduce the OEE. The ability to easily clean and inspect all equipment areas without any heavy lifts or pinch points contributes to a consistent result.

FlexLinks’ hygienic conveyors provide:

no horizontal surfaces
effective drainage
no cavities or hollow bodies
easy access to all areas for cleaning and inspection
no heavy lifts to increase operator convenience and safety

Hygienic conveyor design

Our hygienic philosophy contains a few key drivers, focusing on product development within the food industry. Applying the right technology with a smart mindset will result in a fast, stable, and accurate production flow.

This highly contributes to the reduction of production time and the cost of manufactured products. Close cooperation with our customer made it possible to install a whole new production line for pancakes in a very short time.
