Sanitary and Safety Attributes Help Dorner earn BISSC Certification on its Redesigned AquaGard 7350 V2 Sanitary Conveyor Platform
Launched in October 2018, the redesigned AquaGard 7350 V2 Series merges the best qualities in accessibility and safety to deliver a sanitary platform that’s perfectly engineered for the baking, snack food, pharmaceutical, pet food and packaging industries that require wipe-down and occasional wash-down cleanings of the conveyor.
HARTLAND, Wis., (May 16, 2019) — The high sanitary and safety attributes of Dorner's newly redesigned AquaGard 7350 V2 Series has earned it the coveted Baking Industry Sanitation Standards Committee (BISSC) certification for conveyors outlined in ANSI/ASB/Z50.2-2015. BISSC certification is recognized as the definitive sanitation standard for equipment used in the baking industry.
Specific design features that helped the AquaGard 7350 V2 earn BISSC certification include:
• Bolt-together 304 stainless steel frames
• FDA-approved belting and plastic components
• Open design with minimal horizontal surfaces
• Ample access for cleaning and maintenance
• Suitable for both wipe-down and low-pressure washdown cleanings with non-caustic solutions
Additional sanitary and safety features on the modular belt curve conveyor include having no openings greater than the international standard of 4mm, which increases safety by eliminating pinch points for operators. Furthermore, the upper and lower chain edges are fully contained in the drive system to reduce catenary belt sag and conveyor noise.
BISSC is a not-for-profit corporation that, working with the American Society of Baking Z50 Committee, developed an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard for the design of bakery equipment. The standard provides guidance for a variety of manufacturing equipment regarding proper design for sanitation and food safety.

The ERT150 - Dorner's Next Evolution of Edge Roller Technology Conveyors
The next evolution in Dorner's Edge Roller Technology conveyor platform, the ERT®150, is ideal for small and light-load assembly automation, as well as medical and medical-device assembly application. The ERT platform is the only pallet conveyor of its kind available with an ISO Standard Class 4 rating for cleanroom applications. Earning the ISO Standard 14644-1 Class 4 rating means Dorner's ERT150 will conform and not contribute to the contamination of cleanrooms to those standards. As implied by its name, the ERT150 (Edge Roller Technology) uses rollers to move pallets through the conveyor smoothly with no friction (a byproduct often seen in belt-driven platforms). The conveyor's open design eliminates concerns of small parts or screws dropping into rollers and causing conveyor damage or jamming. The ERT150 is suited to operate in cleanroom environments requiring a pallet handling conveyor. It is capable of zoning for no or low-back pressure accumulation and is ideal for automation assembly applications within industries including medical devices, electronics, consumer goods among others.
