alco Screw Conveyor

Our transverse conveyor system with an optional distribution device can directly service two machines through an adjusted transport belt or a conveyor spiral in a tight space. Thanks to the pivotable product discharge with separate drive and rollers, the transverse conveyor system can fill the downstream machine according to the setting angle.

Features & Benefits

  • All bearings (stainless steel) with distance to product-related seals
  • Screw trough protective guard with security prompt
  • Hygienic design
  • Cleaning discharge at the very bottom

Options & Models

  • Available in different sizes and lengths

alco Shuttle Conveyor – ASB

The alco shuttle conveyor was constructed to ensure an efficient and safe transfer of the products onto a different line with different width, where both lines are set up in a rectangular configuration. As the product enters the exit area of the shuttle conveyor, a built-in sensor triggers a release that quickly pulls back the adjustable shuttle area, causing the product to be gently picked up by the line placed below. Eventually, the adjustable frame slowly moves back to its initial state, reactivating the sensor. High-quality components, a proven design and a multitude of adjustment options meet the food industry’s highest standards for hygiene, flexibility, individuality and safety.

Features & Benefits

  • Shuttle area and retracting speed adjustable
  • Belt speed of the system is continuously adjustable
  • Belt facings with plastic slide profiles
  • Drives made of stainless steel
  • Designed according to the latest hygiene and safety standards

Options & Models

  • Available in 250, 400, 600, 700 & 1000 mm belt widths

alco Spiral Conveyor – ASF

The alco spiral conveyor ASF VARIO serves as a connection link between two systems in order to bridge differences in height within limited production areas. Depending on the model you choose, the spiral conveyor can be used for subsequent cooking by means of residual heat of the product or for pre-cooling (ambient cooling). The spiral-shaped construction is especially suited for a very long conveying length and accordingly high retention time while taking up a minimum of space. High-quality components, proven construction and a large variety of customization options meet the highest standards of the food industry for hygiene, flexibility, individuality, and safety.

Features & Benefits

  • Compact construction with maximum capacity and belt length on minimum floor space
  • Direct-Drive system
  • Speed of the conveyor belt is continuously adjustable
  • PLC control includes a control panel and recipe management

  • Belt tension control with automated adjustment
  • Easy-to-clean and maintenance-friendly construction
  • Designed according to the latest hygiene and safety standards

Options & Models

  • Available with 400, 600, 700 and 1000 belt widths

alco Troughed Conveyor

This conveyor technology will transport your products through the entire production process in a safe and hygienic way. The open tubular frame is easy to clean, and the rubberized drum motor can adjust the belt speed according to your needs by means of frequency control.

High-tech Functionality in a User-Focused Design

When it comes to efficient transfer pumps, it’s vital to ensure that your equipment has the power, sophistication, and customizability to get the job done right, no matter your goals. The C.A.T. Transfer Pump goes above and beyond to offer you full control over its application while maintaining a simple, intuitive design. It’s superior to costly, ineffective conveyors and provides extensive configuration options. It is universally compatible with other machine brands and is available in 4-, 6-, and 8-inch diameter pumps, ensuring seamless integration with your existing line. 

Along with our high-tech equipment and industry knowledge, JBT also offers you the best maintenance support in the business. With 24/7 customer service and our reliable PRoCARE® Promise, we are dedicated to making sure that your equipment provides unmatched efficiency for years to come.

Features & Benefits

The JBT C.A.T. Transfer Pump is designed to increase your plant’s productivity and output while cutting maintenance and labor costs. Highly customizable to suit your unique needs, the Transfer Pump is available in a variety of configurations and can be paired with our weighing and packing solutions to upgrade your entire production line or be purchased on its own to fit seamlessly into your existing infrastructure.

  • Hygienic – The pump’s minimalistic design and stainless-steel construction make it one of the most hygienic on the market. Separate pressure and vacuum feeds to the pump eliminate the risk for cross-contamination.
  • Universally compatible – Available in 4-, 6-, or 8-inch diameter pump sizes and control panels that are easily fitted to all pump sizes, the Transfer Pump is customizable, versatile, and compatible with all machine brands.
  • Low maintenance – With only two moving parts and a stainless-steel construction, parts rarely (if ever) need to be replaced. The pump also uses enclosed pipes to move product, eliminating the need for traditional conveyors, which can be costly and labor-intensive to maintain. 
  • Easy to clean – Built with clamps, the Transfer Pump is easy to disassemble and clean. Consider adding Clean-in-Place technology for an automated cleaning process.
  • Adjustable – The pump’s adjustable analog probe allows you to control the speed and volume of product that’s pumped through the line (flow ranges from 2,000 up to 8,000 pounds / 3,628 kilograms per hour).
  • Efficient – The machine pumps liquids and semi-solid products through enclosed pipes using vacuum technology. This eliminates the risk of product loss, which often occurs at transfer points and through evaporation with standard conveyors.

Superior Hygiene & Application Maintenance

When it comes to the production of semi-solid foods, maintaining high sanitation standards is key to manufacturing a high-quality, superior product. This is especially true during the transfer process. Our equipment utilizes fewer machine parts to significantly reduce bacteria and separate pressure and vacuum feeds to virtually eliminate the risk of contamination. You also have the option to add Clean-in-Place technology to further automate and simplify hygiene maintenance.

Cost-Effective

The C.A.T Transfer Pump not only reduces the need for expensive conveyors — it’s also more affordable and far more effective than other transfer pumps on the market. But even beyond its initial price tag, this high-tech machine will continue to save you money every step of the way to increase your bottom line and simplify your entire system. 

With its hygienic design and simple approach, the C.A.T. Transfer Pump will maintain its functionality long after other pumps need to be replaced. Our maintenance support is also dedicated to providing you with quality service to keep your operation running smoothly.
