Triple/S Dynamic
Nearly a century ago, horizontal motion conveyors began making an appearance in the mining industry. As early as the 1930’s, companies such as Overstrom and Sons (which would eventually become Triple/S Dynamics) were manufacturing drives that generated a slow-advance/quick-return motion. These devices would become the basis for today’s horizontal motion conveyors. Also known as “differential motion” conveyors, these early machines employed complicated drives involving cams, gears, and rotating elements, all of which negatively impacted their overall reliability.

When compressed air or steam is used in the food processing industry, it is necessary to ensure that the gas does not contain materials that can interfere with the process or lead to an unacceptable product. If the presence of condensation, particulate or compressor oil exists in compressed air; these contaminants can lead to malfunction of the processing equipment or a contaminated product, resulting in a significant economic loss. In the same vein, the presence of chemicals from boiler feed water in steam or microorganisms in sterile air can lead to product contamination and a lack of compliance with regulatory requirements, such as the 3-A regulations. In addition, clean-in-place procedures that are used to prepare and/or sanitize food preparation systems require highly purified compressed air and steam of well defined quality.

Many believe that excessive intake of refined carbohydrates (CHO) plays a major role in the development of obesity/overweight, type 2 diabetes mellitus and insulin resistance, a collection of events commonly referred to as “diabesity,” and have sought natural means to overcome these linked perturbations. As a first approach, planned diets with low portions of refined CHO have become popular.
