Today, food manufacturers are producing more SKUs than ever before – and they’re often doing it on existing infrastructure. This means their equipment, including the conveyor systems, needs to be versatile to handle different product lines and designed for fast cleaning.

To accomplish higher production rates, processors need to gain an understanding of how sanitary conveyor systems interact with other machinery and equipment. As equipment becomes more complex, the key is to understand the relationship between each component to best maximize the overall throughput and improve Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).  

“There’s a perception still lingering that the rate of production is determined by individual machines,” says John Kuhnz, vice president – engineered solutions for Dorner Mfg. Corp. “You want to produce 120 products per minute? Just crank up the speed and let it fly, right? Not exactly.”
