Easy on food.  Easy to maintain.

Maintaining product quality is the primary benefit of using the Slipstick® Motion Conveyor in food processing applications. The gentle horizontal, slow-advance, quick-return motion practically eliminates conveyor-imposed product damage while ensuring a very high level of sanitation.

Additional benefits include:

• Retention of seasonings on food
• Reduction of coating and breading loss
• Prevention of oily fines build-up
• Simple construction for ease of cleaning
• Elimination of food product segregation
• Long-term reliable performance

How it works

Unlike conventional vibrating conveyors that use a vertical pitching motion to propel material with repeated impacts which can cause the food to break or stick, the Slipstick's single-drive mechanism provides a unique horizontal differential motion which glides the product down the pan, eliminating breakage problems for fragile foods such as chips, cookies, or cereal. In addition, breadings, seasonings and coatings remain undisturbed as they move along the Slipstick.  

The consistent conveying motion throughout the length, width, and depth of the product bed helps prevent the build-up of oily fines. And because it isn’t dependent on impact to provide motion, the Slipstick conveys deep product beds uniformly, with no stratification.

Variety of Configurations

Built in lengths from 4 feet to more than 200 feet, the Slipstick offers a variable rate of product delivery depending upon the application, and can be adjusted to suit most any requirement.

The Slipstick can be suspended from overhead to maximize the use of valuable floorspace or built with floor-mounted pedestals. Because it is dynamically self-balancing, no counterweights or heavy isolation bases are necessary.  The drive module can be mounted at either end or below the conveyor’s pan section.

Pan options for the Slipstick include multiple channels, pneumatic discharge gates, and removable covers.  Sealed tube sections provide added product protection and allow for CIP.  The Slipstick can also be configured to align, singulate, divide, dry, or cool product as it flows through the conveyor.

Triple/S Dynamics offers full turn-key conveying systems which enable us to provide your company with a single-source supplier for any material handling need.  When coupled with your preferred vendors, we can supply a complete package that integrates our material handling equipment with other processing or packaging equipment.

Ease of Maintenance

The Slipstick is designed for long, trouble-free service life. Mechanically, it’s based on a minimum of moving parts, with the fully enclosed drive mechanism consisting only of bearing-mounted, gear-coupled shafts.  Durability is ensured through our dedication to solid construction throughout.

Long Life

With more than 1,000 Slipstick conveyors in use today, you can be sure of decades of reliable service.  The Slipstick’s enviable record of uptime solidifies its reputation for reliability, even in the harshest of environments.

All reasons why the Slipstick Motion Conveyor is creating a whole new movement in food handling applications.
