Knocker conveyor for fresh produce processing
For processors dealing with mixed produce, this conveyor effectively separates unwanted debris such as sand and insects, ensuring a cleaner production stream while maintaining product integrity through gentle shaking and strategic air blowing.

Removes Fine Particles from Food Products
The Knocker Conveyor by FTNON is engineered to enhance the hygienic standards of food processing operations. This system efficiently removes fine contaminants like insects and sand using strategically placed belt knockers beneath a perforated belt. As the belt shakes, contaminants fall through large openings and are collected in stainless steel trays, ensuring continuous and effective separation. Designed for a variety of applications, it is ideal for processing baby food, fresh produce, oils, soups, sauces, seasonings, and ready meals. With an adjustable frequency controller for belt speed, it accommodates diverse product types, from solid foods to granules. The conveyor integrates smoothly into existing production lines, offering a frequency-controlled air knife for belt cleaning and minimizing downtime with its easy maintenance procedures. Constructed with hygienic ventilators and a modular design, the system promotes rapid cleaning and long service life, meeting stringent industry standards. Configurable belt types and waste conveyor models offer additional customization to suit specific processing needs.
