Sanitary, Washdown & Food-Grade Conveyors
Built for Your Line
Sanitary belt conveyors, 24V MDR conveyors, and washdown pallet conveyors, engineered for your line and built for your washdown. Every frame TIG-welded, every surface mirror-polished, every system designed to move your product — not slow you down.
Three Families. Nine System Types.
Every sanitary conveyor we build shares the same construction DNA — welded stainless frames, mirror polish, aggressive drainage, and tool-less maintenance access. Start with the family that moves your product: belt for trays, pouches, and cartons; MDR for cases and totes with zone control; pallet for end of line.
Sanitary Belt Conveyors
Food grade belt conveyors for washdown environments — from point-A-to-point-B transport to freezer-rated arctic systems and steep elevation changes. The widest range of sanitary applications, on TIG-welded stainless frames with FDA belting.

Washdown-rated motorized drive roller conveyors for cases, trays, and totes. Each zone runs its own 24V roller, so product queues without contact, only active zones draw power, and traffic control lives in the conveyor instead of a PLC rack — from zero-pressure accumulation to multi-line merging and SKU-based sorting.
Explore MDR conveyors →Pallet Conveyors
Stainless pallet conveyors for end-of-line food and dairy lines — roller and chain-driven pallet conveyance, zero-pressure pallet accumulation, automated dispensing, and stretch-wrapper, strapper, and robotic palletizer integration, built for the heaviest loads on the line in full washdown environments.
Explore Pallet conveyors →Sanitary Conveyance That's Actually Sanitary
Most “sanitary” conveyors are standard industrial hardware with a stainless steel skin. AQS builds conveyors differently — from the welds up.
Every frame joint is welded — not bolted. Bolted joints create crevices that trap bacteria and resist cleaning. Welded joints eliminate the problem entirely.
Not just stainless — mirror finish. Polished surfaces are faster to clean, easier to inspect, and leave nowhere for contaminants to hide.
Water shedding geometry is built into every frame. Aggressive drainage angles reduce sanitation time by up to 50%.
Quick-release belt lifters, snap-in guide rails, and removable components. Sanitation crews clean faster. Maintenance turns around faster.
Every system is designed around your specific product, line layout, and sanitary requirements. You get exactly what your line needs.
Designed to plug into VeriPak SCADA, IntelliPak feed systems, and AQS robotic palletizing cells. One controls platform, one support relationship.
Built Different. On Purpose.
Continuous TIG welds instead of bolted joints. Mirror-polished stainless instead of painted steel. Sloped geometry that drains water in seconds — not minutes. Sanitary is the baseline.
