Mobile Elevating Conveyors for a Global Chocolate Manufacturer

The challenge

A global chocolate manufacturer required a reliable and hygienic way to collect and transport rejected chocolate products for recycling. The solution needed to operate in a busy factory environment, support strict food safety standards, and align with the company’s commitment to sending no food waste to landfill. Flexibility across the site was also essential, allowing equipment to be redeployed as production demands changed.

The solution

Alway designed and manufactured a series of mobile elevating conveyors, engineered specifically for food handling applications. Each conveyor is fully food grade, robust in construction, and designed for ease of cleaning and maintenance.

The conveyors feature SEW motors and Intralox ThermoDrive belting, providing reliable performance while minimising product loss during transfer. Their mobile design allows operators to move the conveyors easily between production areas, giving the customer greater flexibility in how waste chocolate is collected and processed.

The result

The mobile elevating conveyors now play a key role in the customer’s waste handling and recycling process. By improving the collection and transport of rejected chocolate, the system helps reduce product wastage and supports the manufacturer’s no food waste to landfill objectives.

The ability to deploy the conveyors across multiple areas of the factory has improved operational efficiency and reduced downtime. Straightforward maintenance and durable construction ensure long-term performance in a demanding production environment.
