Flexco, a leading light-duty endless splicing and fastener solutions provider, will be presenting the new FGP Food Grade Precleaners and other innovative conveyor solutions at ProPak Asia 2015, to be held in Bangkok, Thailand, from June 17 to 20, 2015.
At the booth, the company will highlight the cleaning efficiency of the new product, which helps reduce carryback (sticky food residue) and prevent bacteria growth on the conveyor, reducing the risk of product contamination. The product, which is now available with a metal detectable grey blade, will be installed on two running conveyors carrying raw food ingredients. For food processing industry, it is important to have a metal detectable blade as many food processing facilities require metal detectable plastics in the food contact zone.
Company representatives will demonstrate how one can assemble and disassemble the FGP Food Grade Precleaner quickly in less than a minute to improve manufacturing efficiencies for cleaning and sanitisation routines.
“The cleaner has a spring tensioner that can be easily adjusted to ensure optimal blade-to-belt contact, which minimises blade wear and maximises the cleaning capabilities,” said Katie Hay, Flexco product manager.
The product is FDA-approved and USDA-certified for meat & poultry and dairy applications. The new grey metal detectable blade also works on any belt from 100 mm to 1500 mm (4" to 60").
Another product that will be introduced at the show will be the Clipper G Series Lacing system. It is designed for use with PVC, PU, and PES belting and precision-stamped from 316 L stainless steel, making it corrosion-resistant. Featuring staggered-leg geometry with four alternating leg lengths, this product offers various points of belt penetration that provide more strength and durability for the splice. The G Series Lacing System face strips can be used to install with existing Clipper tools, including the Microlacer, Manual Roller Lacer, and Roller Lacer Gold Class. At the booth, company representatives will demonstrate how the system can be installed on existing conveyor belts.
In addition, Flexco will showcase the all-new Novitool Amigo, a splice press that produces high-quality splices in a fast and safe manner in less than one minute.
