Specialists in cheese processing equipment, Marchant Schmidt also offers hygienic food grade conveyor systems that are continuously welded with special design provisions. When direct contact hygienic conveyors are not required but washdown is still important, Marchant Schmidt’s bolted construction conveyors can provide robust cleanable design. Marchant Schmidt also offers an extensive range of specialty conveyors with popular options include popup transfers, lane diverts and converger/divergers.

Robotics used in direct food contact applications have special hygienic requirements. Marchant Schmidt specializes in ultra-hygienic designs, from conveyors to custom end-of-arm tooling used in robotic handling operations for cheese and other foods. Marchant Schmidt partners with Staubli Robotics to build end-of-arm tooling with stainless steel instead of aluminum and avoid catch points that could harbor bacteria. Even the routing of cables and hoses is critically important when designing ultra-hygienic end-of-armm tooling.
