Materials handling specialist Industrial Conveying (Aust) Pty Ltd is filling a hole in the food processing sector — as a specialist and complete equipment supplier that obviates requirements for third party consulting engineers.
With a strong track record in materials handling and bulk handling solutions and a manufacturing base in Victoria are galvanised by an engineering design office, the company now specialises in conveyor-based handling solutions for general food production, confectionery, bakeries, dairy and cheese production.
Key to its food industry solutions is that all items are fabricated from food-grade stainless steel, which is very easy to clean down and maintain at the end of a shift.
All solutions use the latest electrical component technologies rated to IP 65. Conveyors are easily integrated with pallet handling systems, robotics, control and sensing technologies as well as AGVs (automatic guiding vehicles) to eliminate forklifts and better tie in with the dock operations.
Automated storage warehouses reduce manual flow and allow faster handling of products, which is especially important when perishables are being handled.
To further increase the operations speed and reduce double handling, solutions can be factored with the latest computerised tracking system.
For distribution management, the sorting of products can be so specific as to cater to perfect order distribution for any recipient operating countless branches scattered throughout Australia.
Industrial Conveying’s food sector solutions can be configured to automatically select and distribute the orders. Ideally, the setup aims to ensure that the logistics end of the processing is as streamlined as possible which helps it link with the expectation of big retailers and distribution centres.
A forklift is bulky and often carries the potential to damage processed or packaged goods. In addition, these vehicles can present an occupational health and safety problem so a lot of companies are looking to eliminate their use.
With all food industry projects, accuracy and delivery of all components and a finished system can be viewed in the digital environment well before any construction commences.
The company’s design engineers are equipped with the latest, powerful, software technologies which provide all appropriate finite analysis tests.
