Electromagnetic shakers achieve precise metering
Impulse Compact is a new family of small electromagnetic shakers designed specifically for tight-fitting processing and packaging distribution lines that require precise metering.
SS vibratory conveyors meet many standards
Stainless steel vibratory conveyors meet 3A Dairy Sanitary Standards, USDA, HACCP, and FDA and exceed NEMA 4X washdown specifications, says the manufacturer.
Impulse Compact maximizes production flexibility with dedicated solid-state controls that allow conveying pan amplitudes to range from zero to 100% to adjust for different products or processing conditions.
The electromagnetic shakers can be adjusted from low stroke, high cycle mode for gentle product handling to high stroke, low cycle mode for faster throughput or to handle heavier product.
Key offers the new Impulse Compact in sizes ranging from 200 to 400mm (8 to 15.7in) wide and from 1500 to 2000mm (5 to 6.5ft) long.
