Cidiesse Engineering, Piovene Rocchette (VI), Italy, has introduced the ETC range of modular stainless steel bucket elevators which have been designed specifically for food industry applications. Equipped with one or more loading/unloading stations that are perfectly airtight, they provide enclosed transport of foods such as pasta, snacks, flour, dried fruits, pet foods, cereals or dairy products safely along horizontal, vertical or inclined paths, guaranteeing the integrity of the product along the entire distance. They can operate in conjunction with CIP (cleaning-in-place) systems. Equipped with an air and/or water and/or detergent washing function, they can clean, degrease and sanitize the machinery and contact surfaces in compliance with current food industry regulations.

 

With the washing function incorporated in the machine, there is no longer any need to disassemble and wash the buckets by hand. The ETC bucket elevators were exhibited by Cidiesse at Dubai’s Gulfood Manufacturing show in October. www.cidiesse.com
