Food Process System's workhorse 40" x 60" Spreading/Aligning (SAS) Vibratory Conveyor specializes in bringing order out of chaos. Random product drops onto the unit's spreading cone. High-frequency shaking breaks up clumps and propels product onto a fan-shaped pan that spreads it to full line width. A final aligning pan jostles individual product pieces into lanes for further styling or processing.

Unlike other shaker conveyors, the FPS SAS Vibratory Conveyor does not transmit vibration to the floor or other structures. It can be mounted on casters or hung from the ceiling.

The SAS  features sanitary, ready-to-eat design and solid stainless-steel conveying surfaces that can't snag, break or chip like belted conveyors. The unit's customizable pans tip up for easy cleaning and are also removable and interchangeable to accommodate various products.

Made in USA

The FPS Aligning Tumble Breader flips and tumbles product over a series of steps to coat product with up to 12 percent pickup in the first position on the breading line. Intake and outflow are both accomplished at line width. At the discharge, this versatile breading machine adds a second, less-aggressive shaker with dual alignment pans to straighten, lane and increase space between product for further processing.

This patented application of vibratory technology reduces product fold-overs and marriages and greatly reduces the number of inspectors needed to sort, fix, or discard them.

The slotted alignment pan recovers unused breading to FPS’s augerless recycling system. Used in all FPS Breaders, this patented, gentle-on-breading design recirculates the widest variety of coatings without crushing to create consistent coverage with less waste.

The Vibratory Aligning Tumble Breader features:

• USDA- and WDA-compliant designs for direct food contact.
• Heavy-gauge 304 stainless steel construction suitable for ready-to-eat products.
• Tilt-up pans and hinged covers that provide complete interior cleaning access
• Stainless steel, washdown AC drives
• Stainless steel recycle belt

Custom options include:

• Product Metering Conveyor
• Bulk coating hopper with sensor-activated infeed conveyor
• Interchangeable discharge pans to sift, spread, and align product.

FPS’s patented Vibratory Batter Applicator provides excellent whole-muscle and formed product coverage without the repair hassles and foreign-object contamination issues so common with wire belts.

Our safe, multi-tasking design uses gentle vibratory action to break up product marriages while conveying product through a batter waterfall and spreading it to achieve better pickup down the line.

The FPS Vibratory Batter Applicator features:   

• Heavy-gauge 304 stainless-steel angle and solid round-bar construction to eliminate hollow areas and bacterial penetration points.
• Sanitary, solid stainless-steel conveying surfaces.
• Wash-down motors and removable transport pans for easy cleaning.
• Variable discharge length determined by your line.

Custom options include:

• Customer’s choice of pump
• Insulated jacket

Vibratory conveyors from Food Process Systems streamline production, reduce labor, and solve unique product-handling challenges, saving you time and money compared to other shaker conveyors.

FPS vibratory conveyors are great multi-taskers. In addition to transporting product, our units can also converge, spread, align, screen, dewater, grade or scalp product, sometimes accomplishing several of these tasks at once. FPS engineers have even designed vibratory conveyors allowing product to turn corners. No matter your needs, FPS can design the right vibratory conveying solution for your unique operation.

FPS personnel assist with installation, training, and maintenance of all vibratory conveyors to ensure years of safe and reliable operation. All FPS vibratory conveyors are proudly made in the USA.

Vibratory conveyors from Food Process Systems conform to the most exacting performance and sanitation standards and offer the following benefits:

• Heavy-gauge 304 stainless -steel angle and solid round-bar construction eliminates hollow areas and bacterial penetration points.
• Tilt-up and removable pans make scrub-down and high-pressure sanitation easy.
• Interchangeable pans to speed up product change over.
• UL Listed Electrical Controls
• IP66 wash-down motors.
• Heavy-duty glass-ply arms and solid-cast arm mounts.
• Sanitary, Ready-to-Eat, USDA and FDA compliant designs.
• FPS vibratory conveyors transmit no vibration to the floor or other structures, so units can be mounted on casters or even hung from the ceiling.

Multi-Shaker Systems from Food Process Systems use two or three vibratory conveyors working in unison to spread, align, and straighten products.

Depending on product specifications and line length, a system can be a Dual Aligning Shaker System (DAS) or a Triple Aligning Shaker System (TAS). Both systems are made in the USA and built to match the speed and capacity of your existing lines.

Further processors using this patented application of vibratory technology have found they can reassign 70-100 percent of product stylers to other production tasks. This increases the individual workspace for those stylers who remain on the line. With labor in short supply, these systems not only increase production and improve quality but also enhance plant health and safety.
