Ajax Equipment, Bolton, UK, has supplied a leading food ingredients supplier with a screw conveyor to replace an existing screw feeder and vibratory feeder. The screw features cut and folded flights to provide mixing as well as transfer of biscuit crumb. Close cooperation with the customer helped optimise the transfer capability and mixing effect within the screw conveyor. The stainless steel screw also includes an inspection window to allow monitoring of material condition as well as a hinged cover and polished welds to ensure ease of cleaning. 

 

“Ajax has almost 50 years of experience handling food products. Our equipment can be customised to the material, ensuring consistent product quality as well as to include hygienic finishes, maintain material temperature and clean-in-place” said Ajax technical director Eddie McGee. www.ajax.co.uk
