Mettler-Toledo Garvens: Conveying granulates

The Granulate Conveyor for checkweighers by Mettler- Toledo Garvens reduces downtime and maintenance costs inherent with cleaning particle contamination. The system has a covered design that protects moving parts for checkweighers used for free-fl owing granulate products such as salt, sugar, washing powders and fl our.

Granulate products can penetrate even the smallest gaps in machinery. During checkweighing, loose crystals can get under the transport belt of the conveyor, impairing its movement and changing the belt alignment, eventually causing damage that stops production. The system protects turning parts with an elastic transport belt that covers the conveyor body and acts as a seal. The conveyor body is milled from a solid block, without unnecessary gaps by which the particles can enter. The toothed belt, located between the motor and drive roller, is also enclosed to protect the drive system from abrasive or sticky particles.
