When your production line requires both continuous movement and periodic access, finding the right equipment can be a challenge. FPEC’s gate conveyor is engineered to deliver smooth product transport while allowing operators, equipment, and sanitation teams to safely pass through when needed, without shutting down the entire system.
Whether installed in grinding, marination, or packaging environments, this solution creates a controlled break in the line without disrupting output. The gate conveyor bridges the gap between flow efficiency and operational accessibility, supporting both your team and your product with one flexible system.
Because you shouldn’t have to choose between access and performance.
Practical Integration for High-Access Environments
In today’s food processing facilities, flexibility is as important as speed. FPEC’s gate conveyor is built with this dual priority in mind.
The gate conveyor gates are designed to swing, lift, or slide open based on your plant’s specific layout. It gives you the access you need while keeping production lines moving with minimal interruption.
Ideal for areas where operators cross frequently or sanitation crews require routine access, each gate conveyor is custom-built to match your plant’s configuration. Our engineers account for spacing, product type, and frequency of use to ensure smooth transitions, both in movement and flow.
The result is a system that complements your line rather than complicating it, with durable mechanics that withstand daily operation in demanding environments.
