Key Technology introduces sanitary rotary finish on vibratory conveyors

Key Technology has introduced a rotary polish as the standard finish on its vibratory and horizontal motion conveyor beds. Replacing the 2B mill finish on Iso-Flo, Impulse, and Horizon conveyors and processing systems, the rotary finish provides a smoother stainless steel surface that resists bacterial attachment and biofilm formation.

Compared to a 2B finish on stainless steel that often varies from 0.254 to 1.016 µm Ra, the rotary finish provides a more constant Ra value of less than 0.254 µm. The finish is suitable for all food products including fruits, vegetables, potato products, snacks, nuts, meat and dairy.

The conveyors also feature ground and polished welds within the product contact zone and ground and polished surfaces within the ‘drip, drain or draw zones’ where there is a risk the product area could become contaminated.
