Food Grade Conveyors

Australis Engineering introduces the Hygenius™ Food Grade Conveyors – the truly clean and hygienic conveyor. Hygenius food grade conveyors are wash down ready and take less than 1 minute to prepare for cleaning. The Hygenius food grade conveyor is ideal for:

• Meat
• Small goods
• Poultry
• Seafood
• Pet food
• Fruit and Vegetables
• Cheese and dairy
• Dumplings
• Prepared meats – eg fish fingers, schnitzels, burger patties
• Pharmaceuticals and blood based products

Clean Design Conveyor

The European Hygienic Engineering Design Group (EHEDG) recognises that clean and healthy products shouldn’t just be the result of procedures and processes, but should start at the very beginning with the design of the equipment itself. So we simply decided to design a new type of conveyor, putting aside all the normal assumptions of existing conveyor designs.

“You don’t have to clean what isn’t there…”  This simple understanding is the design foundation for the Hygenius food grade conveyors. The design minimises surfaces, removes hidden and hard to reach crevices where food and bacteria accumulate. The Hygenius food grade conveyors utilise EHEDG approved components such as Volta polyurethane belts, washdown rated, hygienic motors, washdown rated bearings and hygienic feet. Our design also eliminates exposed screw threads and incorporates our unique, Clean Belt Tensioning and Tracking System.

With safety at the forefront, the Hygenius food grade conveyors open frame design also has fully guarded head and tail areas for operator safety. This is a requirement that is often overlooked in other wash down conveyors.

Fast and Easy to Clean – reduce contamination risks

Less than 1 minute to prep for cleaning

The Hygenius food grade conveyor takes less than 2 minutes to disassemble AND reassemble for cleaning – all without the need for any tools. Compared to a traditional conveyor that can take up to 40 minutes to disassemble BEFORE you even start to clean it, the Hygenius food grade conveyors provide significant time savings which reduce your downtime and increase production. With the toolless disassembly and reassembly, you don’t need skilled tradespeople to prep the conveyor for cleaning.

Hygenius is specifically designed to minimise areas where food or product can accumulate which reduces the risk of bacterial contamination of your product. Importantly, this also allows for a faster cleaning process and with significantly less cracks and crevices, allows for a more thorough cleaning process. By reducing the potential for bacterial growth, you can improve food safety for your customers.
