In processing and packaging applications, speed-to-market is always important but never more so than when handling perishables.

Because the dairy industry packages and processes some of the more sensitive perishables in our society, Industrial Conveying can combine items from its various materials handling technologies to specifically meet the needs of this industry.

Industrial Conveying managing director, Don Erskine, has said that any packaging operation always looks for greater efficiency to save time and money, but when perishables are at stake it is imperative to find a quick solution and one that works.

"Dairy industry materials handling solutions call for the most up-to-date hygienic solutions to safeguard the integrity of a product while maintaining production," said Erskine.

"The more fluent the system, the less stoppages and therefore less time involved in processing the product (not just milk, but cheese and other dairy products) as there is normally a small-time window in which the processing and packaging can operate.”

Industrial Conveying’ technologies for the dairy industry include:
• Milk crate handling systems;
• Crate washers;
• Top-out de-stackers;
• Milk crate stackers;
• Milk crate palletisers;
• Merge lines;
• Single filer units; and
• Cheese block processing systems.

"Adding to the challenges of this sector are high requirements to meet regulatory standards for the food sector as well as general occupational health and safety expectations.

"So what we've done first of all is make sure that we have every type of vital technology in materials handling the dairy industry.

“Then we have ensured it is all made locally so nobody has to wait for important parts during scheduled or unscheduled maintenance.
