Food Conveyor
Walker Custom Sheet Metal has designed a second prototype of its unique
W.O.W. incline conveyor, known for its ultrasanitary and totally tool-less
design. All pulleys, motors, drives, chutes, bearings and belts can be easily
removed using only one’s hands, so that anyone can fully disassemble
and reassemble the conveyor without the need of a plant mechanic.
These design elements make sanitation quicker and easier for
food manufacturers working toward compliance with the Food
Safety Modernization Act.
