Anderson Processing Equipment - Package Warmer

The Anderson package warmer consist of a stainless steel tunnel through which the filled containers pass on a wire mesh conveyor. Cold water is heated at the base of the unit by steam coils and pumped up to a header tank above the conveyor. Hot water at approximated 50 degrees celcius is allowed to "rain" onto the containers, through close proximity perforation, thus permitting thermal transfer to occur efficiently. An adjustable air blast is arranged over the top of the discharge conveyor to blow excess water from the top of the containers back into the package warmer for re-circulation.

Inspection hatches are arranged in the roof of the machine to allow access to the close proximity perforation sheets for cleaning. A head of water in the tank is maintained by a ballock (mounted on the side of the tank) fitted with a bypass to enable initial filling.

Steam condensate traps, valves etc. are included in the base unit and positioned according to the layout requirements. Ball bearings are sealed for life although facility for greasing is provided.

A pressure bad is fitted on the discharge conveyor motor and pump when the containers build back along the conveyor. The motor and pump will restart after a time delay when the build back has cleared. The main drive is protected by a torque limiter which come into operation when subject to excessive load.

Easy access by inspection hatches and ready dismantling of moving parts ensure rapid maintenance and maximum hygiene. (See picture b)

The water re-circulation system together with the enclosed infeed and discharge conveyors ensures minimum energy consumption and contributes to the high efficiency of the Anderson Systems package warmer.
