Case Lift

Case Lifts are a mechanical means to raise or lower cases to different elevations or floors similar to the operation of a "Ferris Wheel".  The lift pallets or surfaces raise to the desired elevation deposit the product or container then return to the bottom for another round. We provide custom heights, widths and depths.  Typical elevations run from 10' - 12' with speeds up to 15-20 cases / min. 

Features:

• 15-20 cases / min.
• Custom heights, widths, and depths
• Electric Drives
• Heavy duty Stainless Steel construction
• Variable Timing w/servos
• 10-12' Typical elevations
• Roller Chains
• Custom Pallet Lift Surfaces
• "In-House" PassivationPassivation treatment is intended to improve the surface condition of stainless steel by dissolving iron that has been embedded in the surface during forming or machining. If allowed to remain, the iron can corrode and give the appearance of rust spots on the stainless steel. Passivation restores the original corrosion-resistant surface by forming a thin, transparent oxide film and is the preferred method for the sanitary durability of stainless steel. Millard has one of the largest "In-House" Passivation operations available for our customer's fabricated items. See our case study on passivation for details. for Sanitary Durability

Low Back Pressure Conveyors

Low Back Pressure (LBP) conveyors are used for starting and stopping container lines, unequal paced lines between processes, product stream inconsistencies, and accumulation points in a process.  Our LBP conveyors contain the same high quality construction found in all our conveyors with a thicker roller belt applied.  We use plastic modular belting (e.g. Rexnord, Intralox, or customer specified) with rollers so the belt will roll under your product when it is slowed, stalled, or stopped.  These include all the standard features found on our Belt Conveyors in Support Equipment/Services.

Features:

• Plastic modular belting (e.g. Rexnord, Intralox, or customer specified)
• Custom engineered to fit application
• Integrated stop gates as required
• Same standard features as our Belt Conveyors

Reject conveyors

For the Fresh & Frozen Foods Industry Millard offers Reject Conveyors specifically designed for metal detection and weight rejects.  Using sensors to automatically monitor continuous processes for bad product or rejects, our conveyors will segregate and separate them from the good products.  Segregation occurs through a variety of methods; air knives, mechanical bumpers, paddles, integrated plows, or guides that take the unwanted product off-stream for disposal or standard QC sampling.

Features:

• Metal Detection Equipment Integration
• Same standard features as our Belt Conveyors
• Heavy duty Stainless Steel Construction
• Integrated controls and switches
• Custom lengths, widths, heights, and angles
• Wash-down duty construction
• "In-House" PassivationPassivation treatment is intended to improve the surface condition of stainless steel by dissolving iron that has been embedded in the surface during forming or machining.
