Dorner & Garvey to Unveil Conveyor PACK EXPO 2023

If you are looking for a sure bet in Las Vegas, it’s the AquaGard GT, a new conveyor system that combines the strengths of Dorner and Garvey^®, both Columbus McKinnon brands. The AquaGard GT leads an impressive lineup of conveyors in action in booth C-1455 at PACK EXPO 2023, September 11-13, at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas.

Dorner is a global leader in conveyor automation system design, manufacturing, and integration. Garvey is a recognized leader in the conveyor and accumulation industry, serving customers of all sizes primarily in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and household product industries.

The AquaGard GT is a meticulously designed infeed and outfeed conveyor ideal for accumulation-type applications to prevent bottlenecks in industries such as packaging, bottling, dry food processing, and part handling. All components (except motors) are either stainless steel or FDA-approved plastics, which are ideal for operating in environments that require wipe-down or occasional washdown cleanings of the conveyor.

The AquaGard GT integrates features and benefits such as powered transfer units, flush side tails, and pre-engineered transfer modules, among others that in-house machine builders cannot match. The conveyor is competitively priced and comes with a short 10-day lead time.

At PACK EXPO 2023, the AquaGard GT will be operating in a fully functional loop with Infinity™ and Bi-Flow™ accumulation tables from Garvey. A versatile machine, the Infinity uses Garvey’s patented technology to accumulate and sort unstable products at high speeds into a single or multi-lane configuration. The Bi-Flow uses opposing conveyor movement to create a buffer for product accumulation in a small footprint. The loop also includes Dorner’s FlexMove Helix and Wedge conveyors, which allow vertical product movement to maximize a smaller footprint. This demonstration illustrates the seamless integration Dorner and Garvey can bring to industries worldwide to maximize production in accumulation-type applications.

PACK EXPO attendees can see several other conveyor systems on display, including a second operating loop highlighting the DCMove belted and the 2700 Medium Duty conveyors. Additionally, attendees can view a third operating loop linking two 3200 Series conveyors with Activated Roller Belt (ARB) technology, a belted Edge Roller Technology (ERT), a FlexMove Side Acting Merge Module and a Powered Side Guide showcases Dorner’s package-handling capabilities.
