Zephyr Horizontal Motion Conveyor


The next-generation of horizontal motion conveyors from Key.

ZephyrTM provides gentle, high-capacity and low maintenance conveying for processors of frozen, fragile, seasoned, breaded or coated products.

With already over 10,000 hours running in production, Zephyr is proven to:

Protect Product Quality –  It gently conveys product without bouncing to reduce product breakage and the loss of coatings such as seasonings and batters.

Ease Sanitation – Its self-cleaning horizontal motion reduces product build-up and every aspect of the system utilizes sanitary design and manufacturing principles.

Reduce Maintenance – Zephyr’s patented drive system is designed for long life with fewer parts to make maintenance easy – no timing set up required. The bed and structural components are backed by Key’s industry-leading, five-year warranty.

Maximize Line Efficiency – Offering up to twice the throughput of other horizontal motion conveyors, Zephyr moves product at rates of up to 12.2 meters (40 feet) per minute.

Improve Production Environment – System noise is limited to 75 decibels or less and the counterweight drive minimizes floor vibration.

Seamlessly Integrate into Your Line – Customized for your application, Zephyr’s bed can be up to 1 meter (3.3 feet) wide and, depending on width, up to 7 meters (23 feet) long with a product depth of up to 254 mm (10 inches). Zephyr can also be equipped with a variety of options and configured with a stop-start mode for multihead weigher feed or product distribution.

"The machines installed easily and have been running without issue for the past 20 months. We look forward to using more of these systems in our upcoming projects." - Jarosław Karolik, Plant Manager, Farm Frites Poland
