Food and Beverage

The food and beverage industry presents unique challenges in material handling. Food facilities must move perishable items like produce, meat, seafood and dairy that vary greatly in size and shape and require delicate handling. Dry goods with a variety of dimensions present additional sortation and storage challenges. Food and beverage plants may also need to sustain operations in refrigerated or frozen conditions, including sorting and packing in cold environments. 

Case Study: Omaha Steaks—Omaha, Nebraska 

Conveyor Solutions assisted a food company by providing new material handling equipment for their new facility in Omaha, Nebraska. As a company that ships a high volume of perishable meat products, the ability to operate within freezer systems is critical to their business. To meet their unique needs, Conveyor Solutions, a Systems In Motion company, concepted and delivered a system with 12 lanes of picking in freezer conditions, 15 pack/repack stations, 5 lanes feeding into a shrink tunnel, a 6 lane sawtooth merge and 18 diverts for a show sorter.
