Heat and Control’s SwitchBackTM conveyor provides in-line accumulation of delicate snacks, frozen meats, poultry and other foods. Composed of two independent FastBack® conveyors, SwitchBack automatically stores product in the lower unit while conveying product in the opposite direction in the upper feed conveyor.
Features
- Trouble-free accumulation:
SwitchBack’s patent pending design requires no photoeyes, sensors, gates or pneumatics.
- World's simplest drive:
Proven reliable, the patented FastBack modular belt drive has few moving parts and requires no preventative maintenance. Drive belt, motor and transmission can be quickly replaced without removing the pan or top cover.
- Reduce product breakage:
Gentle FastBack® horizontal motion and sloped pan configurations eliminate abrupt drops and stops that can damage snacks, frozen meat and poultry products.
- Save floor space:
Requiring less space than comparable accumulation conveyors, compact SwitchBacks are available for capacities of 30 or 45 cubic feet.
- Clean conveying:
Seasonings and product coatings do not build up on conveyor pans, eliminating mid-shift cleaning downtime.
