Storveyor
In industrial processes, maintaining a consistent and uninterrupted flow of products is essential to optimise productivity and minimise disruptions. The KMG Storveyor offers a reliable solution by accommodating a buffer of product between two processes, mitigating stoppages or surges. Professionals in various industries can leverage the Storveyor’s capabilities to enhance efficiency and streamline their production processes.
Features
- Fully stainless steel hygienic construction
- Gentle on product
- Programable operation
- Regulated product output
- Adaptable design to suit application
- Infeed by a KMG vibratory conveyor
- Fully Stainless Steel Hygienic Construction: The KMG Storveyor is built with fully stainless steel hygienic construction. This design ensures compliance with strict hygiene standards, making it suitable for industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. The stainless steel hopper is specially shaped to minimise product compaction, maintaining the integrity and quality of delicate products.
- Gentle on Product: The Storveyor’s design prioritises gentle product handling. This is crucial for maintaining product integrity during the buffering process. By minimising product compaction and employing a positively driven full-width food quality conveyor at the base of the hopper, the Storveyor ensures gentle movement of products towards the discharge point. This gentle handling reduces the risk of damage or degradation, preserving product quality.
- Programmable Operation: The KMG Storveyor offers programmable operation, allowing customisation to suit specific application requirements. The usual operation of the Storveyor follows a “first in first out” principle, ensuring proper product rotation and preventing product degradation due to prolonged storage. Additionally, the Storveyor can be programmed for other functions, such as low or no-drop filling routines for extremely delicate products, providing precise control over the product flow.
- Regulated Product Output: To meet the demands of downstream processes or packaging plants, the Storveyor incorporates one or more KMG vibratory conveyors at the discharge point. These conveyors regulate the output, ensuring a controlled and consistent flow of products. By precisely matching the output to the requirements of subsequent processes, the Storveyor optimises efficiency and minimises bottlenecks.
FAQs about Storveyor
What is a Storveyor, and why is it used in production lines?
A Storveyor provides a buffer between two stages in the production process—accepting product at one end while discharging at the other. This misses surges or stoppages and keeps both upstream and downstream processes running smoothly.
How much product can a Storveyor hold?
Two variants are available. The larger storveyors are belt‑based and can hold up to about 100 m³, while the smaller vibratory mini‑stores hold around 2 m³—useful where space is limited or buffering needs are modest.
What materials and hygiene features are built in?
Storveyors are made with fully stainless steel hygienic construction. The hopper is shaped to reduce product compaction and can include hoods or covers to contain dust, heat or prevent contamination from external sources.
How is output regulated to match different downstream requirements?
Product discharge is controlled via one or more KMG vibratory conveyors at the Storveyor outlet. These conveyors ensure regulated output flow that synchronises with downstream packaging or processing machines.
What operating features enhance flexibility in usage?
Storveyors are programmable to meet different application needs. They support operations such as first‑in, first‑out handling and “no‑drop” or low‑drop filling routines for delicate or fragile products. Designs are adaptable to suit particular volume, product type and factory layout.
