Featuring a patented direct drive with a counterbalance system, Zephyr’s unique motion profile gently moves product with no segregation or stratification and at higher capacities than can be achieved with other horizontal motion conveyors. Zephyr minimizes bounce, which reduces product damage, noise and loss of seasoning and other coatings to maintain product quality.
“Designed for food processors who want gentle handling, our field-proven Zephyr conveyor offers higher throughput, reduced maintenance and a modular design that’s more readily customized than other horizontal-motion shakers on the market, said Jim Ruff, Vice President of Process Systems and Integrated Solutions at Key Technology. “We are excited to add this product to Key’s portfolio – it enables us to provide the widest range of conveyor types and available options on the market. We’re able to supply each customer with the best system for their application and integrate multiple systems into seamless solutions.”
Key Technology的Zephyr水平运动输送机非常适合冷冻散装食品，例如土豆产品，水果，蔬菜，肉类和家禽以及果酱和谷物等干燥产品。这种高容量的输送机由独特的平衡直接驱动器提供动力，利用水平运动轻轻滑动和传达产品而不会弹跳。几乎没有垂直阁楼，Zephyr会减少产品的破损和诸如调味，面糊和某些类型的油的涂料损失，同时将系统噪音限制为75分贝或更少。它的自我清洁水平运动减少了产品堆积的机会，并且配重驱动器可最大程度地减少地板振动。
Offering up to twice the throughput of other horizontal motion conveyors, Zephyr moves product at rates of up to 12.2 meters (40 fpm).
Zephyr features robust construction with a stainless steel conveying bed and drive housing, sanitary grounding arms, long-life bearings and scalloped flat bars, which together maximize sanitation, ease cleaning and reduce maintenance. Every aspect of the system utilizes sanitary design and manufacturing principles. Carbon fiber springs with food-safe coating further improve lifespan and sanitation. Zephyr’s simple drive system is powered by an electric motor with few parts to ease maintenance – no timing set up is required. This horizontal-motion conveyor is available in four finishing standards, offering rotary polished beds, ground and polished welds and more to meet a variety of different sanitation requirements.
Zephyr的床为每个客户量身定制，最大可达1米（3.3英尺）宽，具体取决于宽度，长达7米（23英尺）长，产品深度最高为254毫米（10英寸）。该驱动器可以位于床下方的任何位置，以支持与生产线中其他设备的无缝集成。钥匙可以为Zephyr配备各种床选项，包括用于缩放饲料分布的滑门，用于增强多头称重或偏见以在喂食下游系统时传播产品的排放。它也可以通过停止启动模式进行配置，以进行缩放喂食或产品分布。Zephyr可以轻松适应不同的产品流速，从而最大程度地提高系统的灵活性，以满足广泛的客户需求。
