Food Grade Conveyor Equipment Manufacturer in Michigan

Fannon Products manufactures custom infrared conveyor systems, conveyor tunnels, emitter panels, fixtures, controls, and heater assemblies for food processing applications. Systems are engineered around the product, desired moisture removal, temperature profile, belt width, line speed, and available floor space. Food-grade configurations can support baking, browning, dehydrating, surface drying, pasteurizing, and other controlled heat processes.

Infrared heating applies controlled radiant energy directly to the product surface or target moisture zone, which can reduce cycle times compared with convection-only methods. Medium-wave infrared is especially useful for food drying and moisture removal because it delivers uniform, penetrating heat with precise control. This helps processors improve throughput, product consistency, and energy efficiency on conveyorized lines.

Yes. Fannon Products engineers made-to-order systems for new production lines and existing conveyor equipment. The team can configure conveyor tunnels, emitter panels, controls, and custom heater assemblies around your current footprint, process speed, and product requirements. Retrofit-style integration is often used when a processor needs better moisture control or faster output without replacing an entire line.

Pricing is quoted per specification because each system is engineered for the application. Factors include conveyor width and length, emitter type, wattage, voltage, zones, temperature controls, product characteristics, throughput targets, and integration needs. To begin quoting, provide your product type, line speed, process goal, available space, and electrical requirements to sales@fannonir.com or 810-794-2000.

Medium-wave infrared is commonly used for food drying because it provides controlled, penetrating heat suited for moisture removal, browning, baking, surface drying, and pasteurizing. The best emitter configuration depends on product thickness, surface characteristics, moisture target, dwell time, and desired finish. Fannon Products matches emitters, reflectors, zones, and controls to the specific processing requirement.

Yes. Fannon Products manufactures its systems in Algonac, Michigan and supports 99% secure global shipping from its facility. Equipment can be shipped to manufacturers across the United States and international destinations. The company also supplies replacement infrared lamps factory-direct, helping processors maintain uptime after the original system is installed.

Custom conveyor systems are quoted and manufactured to order, so timing depends on engineering complexity, component requirements, controls, and production schedule. Fannon Products first reviews the application, defines the heating approach, and prepares a configuration for approval. Clear specifications—product, belt width, voltage, line speed, and process target—help streamline design and manufacturing.

To size a system accurately, Fannon Products typically needs details such as product type, starting and ending moisture levels, desired temperature range, belt width, line speed, dwell time, available footprint, voltage, and sanitation or material requirements. Photos, drawings, or process data from the current line can also help the engineering team recommend the right configuration.
