Dorner's AquaPruf Ultimate Conveyor Platform earns 3-A certification

Dorner’s AquaPruf Ultimate conveyor is now 3-A certified. Evaluating equipment for 3-A certification is performed by an objective, independent third-party verification inspection to ensure that the AquaPruf Ultimate conveyor has successfully met the requirements of the 3-A sanitary standard in the design and fabrication of equipment used in food processing.

Helping to achieve 3-A certification were recent updates to the platform to incorporate the latest engineering designs to provide the highest level of sanitary standards, and the fastest cleaning times, for applications such as meat, poultry, fish, and ready-to-eat.

Dorner’s AquaPruf Ultimate conveyor comes with several industry-leading sanitary features, including:

Drive sprocket design includes a quick cleaning system to ensure cleaning can be done below the sprocket surface
