Augers

Millard custom builds Augers and Screw Conveyors supporting a wide variety of applications for moving and/or mixing products from one operation to another or into storage containers, transport hoppers, combos, vats, drums, etc.  Our augers are made with heavy duty stainless steel following our "Safety and Sanitary Design Standards". Carbon construction is available for less sanitary conditions and needs.  We offer a wide range of sizes (most common are 6", 9", 12" and 20"), and most custom sizes available. 

Features:

• Heavy Duty Motor and Gear Box
• Stainless Steel construction
• Built to application demands
• Wash-Down duty construction
• Stand-off Bearings
• "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

Product Chiller

The Product Chiller cools product, usually meant for pet food applications, from kill floor temperature down to just above freezing in a continuous and efficient manner to prepare it for packaging into combos and loading into coolers.  The Product Chiller is comprised of a revolving drum, a cooling system, and a baffle assembly. Chilled water, which is recovered, is used to uniformly cool the product as it moves gently through a rotary chilling tunnel (revolving drum).  As the product moves through the tunnel it is continuously turned and exposed to the chilling solution providing a uniformly controlled and regulated cooling rate.  Larger products such as beef livers may require a pre-chiller (slasher) machine that opens up product for increased uniform chilling.  Configurations are available for different tonnage requirements and for both edible and inedible applications.

The Product Chiller we offer is a result of our ability to partner with a company to create a solution to a customer production issue.

Features:

• Cools/Chills products rapidly, efficiently, and uniformly at low energy
• Continuous, regulated cooling with overhead liquid distribution
• De-watering stage
• Minimizes product handling, damage, and contamination
• Solutions for both edible and inedible products
• Adaptable to a wide variety of products beyond pet foods (Beef, Pork, Poultry, Seafood, other Processed Foods)
• 2,500-5,000 lbs/hr on standard models
• Custom lengths and diameters
• Custom internal flights and baffles
• Variable; speeds, temperature control, temperature ranges
• Heavy duty gearbox and motor
