Horizontal screw loader for food processing

Optimize your production flow with a smooth-loading solution designed to efficiently handle and transport both solid and slurry food products with high capacity and continuous operation.

Transports and Stores Bulk Food Products

The Cozzini Horizontal Screw Loader is expertly engineered to enhance the operational efficiency of food and meat processing lines. It employs a heavy-duty feedscrew combined with a vane pump to reliably transport solids and slurries to subsequent processing stations, offering capacities between 500 lbs. (230 kg) and 10,000 lbs. (4500 kg). This system is especially beneficial for products ranging from ground beef and sausage mixes to potato chips and chocolate bars. Equipped with unique, quick-release watertight shaft seals, it ensures full washdown sanitation, adhering to USDA and CE standards. An optional agitator prevents product bridging, while integration into continuous operations supports high-capacity needs. Constructed from stainless steel, the loader offers excellent corrosion resistance.
