AquaGard™ Stainless Steel Conveyor

Dorner’s new AquaGard stainless steel conveyor can sustain speeds up to an industry-leading 260 feet-per-minute. It delivers best-in-class transfers and easy automation for baked goods, snack foods and confectionaries. AquaGard is an ideal solution for some applications in the fruit, vegetable, non-protein ready-to-eat, pharmaceutical, medical, and personal care industries.
Pre-engineering and the use of standard components eliminate the cost, long lead times and risk of custom conveyors. Its speed is coupled with fast and versatile transfers—whether powered or rollers—while only adding minimally to the overall length. And one-inch nosebar tails can be integrated for small part transfers.
A revolutionary bracket design makes it easy to add a variety of controls in minutes. These include photo eyes, low voltage wires, air tubing, and several guiding options. And an available accessory bar can be used to add multiple components to one or both sides of the conveyor frame.
The AquaGard is TIG welded for durability and all of the materials used in the conveyor are FDA approved and meet or exceed BISSC standards.
