Collection Conveyors gently collect product from other processing machines to minimize damage and converge product flow.We design and build conveyors for your application. Washing, drying, cooling, spreading, aligning and elevating are just some of the other functions our collection conveyors can perform while preparing your product for the next step in the process. Explore the variety of conveying technology we offer below.

A horizontal motion conveyor that features gentle, quiet, and sanitary horizontal motion conveying for distributing many fragile, seasoned, coated, and frozen food products. Food processing often requires the product flow to be separated into multiple streams for efficient processing. Distribution conveyors control product flow to downstream equipment using gates and diverters to meter the product by the optimal amount. Explore the variety of conveying technology we offer below.

A horizontal motion conveyor that features gentle, quiet, and sanitary horizontal motion conveying, Horizon is ideal for many fragile, seasoned, coated, and frozen food products. Feed conveyors optimally present your product to the next piece of processing equipment to maximize yield and improve performance of the downstream equipment. Key’s decades of experience and modeling provide the highest level of performance and fit specifically designed for your product and the mating equipment. Explore the variety of conveying technology we offer below.

Our Impulse electromagnetic conveyor provides gentle product handling for the more fragile products requiring scalping, size grading or other product separation functions. Grading, sizing and separating are essential functions in your processing line. Key’s industry-proven conveyors are built with our reliable Vector-Lock™ clamping system that securely holds screens, yet allows for quick removal for cleaning and change-over. Screens are available in a variety of styles to align, singulate, dewater, length grade, width grade, scalp, move product up an incline or even perform several functions in a single operation. From the simple to the complex, Key’s Grading, Sizing, and Separating Conveyors are known to be the best most robust and reliable in the industry.

Electronic variable speed drive. Simple single chain drive system. Adjustable top rubber flaps to retain the crop on the brushes. Hard wearing bristle brushes. Hydraulic hand pump adjustment. Available in 13 or 21 row. 600mm, 900mm, 1200mm or 1800mm widths. Driven top brushes to increase cleaning action. Stainless steel construction.

Simple and efficient, the Air Cleaner separates your product from leaves, stems, chaff, or other light trash. The specially engineered separation chamber and diffuser grid system produce an equally distributed air pattern that improves separation and reduces residence time and damage from unnecessary product drops.

The Hydro-Flo Food Processing Pump transfers food products by using water as a transport medium to elevate and convey many products quickly and gently. The water supports and serves as a protective cushion to the product being handled. To go along with the Hydro-Flo Food Processing Pump, a complete pumping system is available to cool or convey processed products while reclaiming the water for another cycle.

This line of versatile roller sizers and graders enables food processors to transfer and classify product efficiently—while removing field debris, broken pieces, seeds, juice, fines, and other targeted material. Key’s Rotary Sizing and Grading Systems feature on-the-fly tuning, no pinch points, diameter and length sizing, self-cleaning stainless steel rollers, sealed corrosion resistant bearings for low maintenance and easy cleaning for quick product change over.

The Small Piece Remover is an open-bed design machine with integral frame and endless sizing belt, used to separate smaller pieces of product from line flow. Running at a right angle to product flow, the sizing belt forms a trough where product travels through the machine. The rolling cross-flow movement gently mixes and encourages product transfer. The Small Piece Remover features consistent and accurate length sizing for field proven 98% effectiveness. This streamlined design is more efficient than rotary style separators. It features self-cleaning pockets that eliminate the need for high pressure water and brush system to continuously clean pockets. Its simple open framework dramatically reduces sanitation and service.
