Batching Systems, Inc.
Heavy duty bulk product pre-feeders and conveyors from Batching Systems are engineered to provide easy ergonomic filling, gentle non-abrasive product handling, effective disentangling and uniform product flow. Batching Systems supplies ergonomic hydraulic drop and lift load height dumpers for bulk unloading. The Sure Feed Hopper Lift consists of a shaker type vibratory feeder mounted above counting, weighing or processing equipment, on a stand that is designed to allow the feeder to drop back and tilt down to an ergonomic load height. The operator uses the hand control to bring the feeder down to load position while the counter, scale or processor continues to run, resulting in zero down time for product refill. Once filled, the operator returns the hopper to feed height to resume product delivery.

Descon Integrated Conveyor Solutions
Descon designs and builds product and packaging handling solutions for the food and beverage industries, including a range of transfers, elevator conveyors, and side-grip elevators. Vacuum transfer and elevator conveyors support applications such as the removal of down cans from the line or other applications that involve a sudden change in elevation. In horizontal format, the system can handle down can removal and empty can coding applications. Vertical format applications include mass transport of single file but can also be custom designed to suit nearly any elevation change. Side grip elevator for vertical transport applications offers an effective means of elevating or lowering a variety of containers and products when space is at a premium. Product is gently but firmly gripped by the sides and carried through the change in elevation at speeds up to 300 fpm. Side grippers are a soft, pliable material, guaranteed not to damage the container.
