Processing Plants
OEM Equipment Manufacturers
Your lines often run 24/7, always under pressure, and never with enough time for maintenance. Washdown schedules, audits and product goals to be met, you need components that won't quit.
We can help by supplying the industrial parts that keep your production running, can withstand the brutal conditions and keep your maintenance team from calling at 3 a.m.
Building equipment for the food and beverage plants means designing for the worst case. This includes harsh chemical cleaners, high pressure washdowns and customers who expect 99.9% uptime.
You need components that genuinely washdown-rated, not water resistant. You need products that are actually food-grade compliant. You also need items that are in stock and availalbe when you need them.
Food & Beverage Applications
Batch Mixing & Ingredient Dosing
Whether it's sauces, dressings, dairy or beverages, consistency is everything. Automation helps every batch taste like the last one! Result: Repeatable recipes, fewer mistakes, happier customers.
Conveyor & Packaging Line Control
High-speed packaging lines don't have time for guesswork. Automation keeps everything moving. Result: Faster throughput, less downtime, fewer crushed boxes.
Tank Level Monitoring & Pump Control
From syrup tanks to CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems, knowing what's in your tank, and where it's going, matters. Result: No spills, better inventory control, smoother operations.
Filling & Bottling Systems
From bottled water to craft beer, accuracy matters. You know what can matter even more? Speed. Result: Higher yield, fewer misfills, smoother production days.
Oven, Freezer & Process Temperature Control
Whether baking, smoking, pasteurizing, or freezing, tight temperature control protects both quality and compliance. Result: Consistent product quality and peace of mind during inspections.
CIP (Clean-in-Place) System Automation
Food safety isn't optional. Automation makes cleaning cycles consistent, verifiable and efficient. Result: Reliable sanitation, less manual labor, easier compliance.
Meet the Oven Controller That Knows What Time It Is!
Looking to make that perfect pizza? It's all about precise conveyor timing. The Dart MD10P digital conveyor drive controller delivers.
The MD10P actually speaks in time (MM:SS), not just RPM. This means operators can dial in exactly long products spend in the heat sound, no guessing.
Find out why the food and beverage pros love this controller.
The MD10P is perfect for shrink wrap tunnels, pizza ovens, UV cure lines, drying ovens and basically any conveyor where timing equals quality.
Stop letting your conveyor wing it!
