Heat and Control, Inc.’s FastBack 260E

Machine Type: Horizontal Motion Conveyor

Description: Heat and Control’s new FastBack® 260E conveyor delivers twice the product travel rate of comparable conveyors, bringing all the advantages of horizontal motion conveying to producers of high flow rate products. Providing less damaging and far cleaner conveying than vibratory conveyors, the gentle slow forward/fast back horizontal motion of the FastBack 260E reduces product breakage and build-up in the conveyor pan, eliminating mid-shift downtime for cleaning. The 260E drive can handle heavy product loads and pans up to 35 feet long. Single side access to drive components allows for closer spacing of conveyors.
