Key Technology introduced enhanced Rotary Sizing and Grading Systems

Key Technology introduced its enhanced Rotary Sizing and Grading Systems, which includes its Sliver Sizer Remover (SSR), Precision Size Grader (PSG) and Rotary Size Grader (RSG).

With a new fully welded framework, one piece block pan, improved water and product deflection, new motor mount with catch pan and more, the new Rotary Sizing and Grading Systems improve sanitation and ease maintenance while improving product quality, according to the company.

Improved water/product containment is the result of a higher infeed frame plate with an added deflection flange to help shed water off the plate, sloped deflectors on both sides and a deflector flange on the discharge shear, according to Key Technology. These four new flanges reduce fasteners and laminations where microbes can grow while moving drip points to within the envelope of the equipment.

Standard Rotary Sizing and Grading Systems that are adjusted manually now feature a hard stop mechanism that prevents an operator from over-tightening the adjustment blocks while closing the gap between the rolls, which prevents the blocks from being damaged. The optional Auto Adjust has also been improved with the addition of electronic limit switches for full-open and full-closed positions and a mechanical fail safe detent clutch to prevent blocks from being damaged.

All sanitation and maintenance enhancements are available on every new Rotary Sizing and Grading System, which includes Key’s Sliver Sizer Remover (SSR), Precision Size Grader (PSG) and Rotary Size Grader (RSG).
