Case Study: Monterey Mushrooms achieves faster, easier sanitary packaging with Dorner conveyors

Monterey Mushroom streamlines mushroom packaging with Dorner in under 90 seconds

Monterey Mushroom, a major national grower and marketer of fresh mushrooms, required a highly sanitary and efficient conveyor system for its packaging lines at its Loudon, Tennessee facility. The challenge was to find a system that could withstand rigorous daily washdowns on the pre-packaged side while also streamlining operations to handle the packaging of thousands of pounds of mushrooms daily. To meet this need, they selected sanitary conveyors from Dorner.

Dorner implemented a solution using nearly 30 of its AquaPruf and AquaGard conveyor platforms, which were designed for quick disassembly and easy cleaning. Features like belt lifters and tip-up noses allowed Monterey's sanitation crew to thoroughly clean the equipment in just minutes. This solution provided the necessary sanitation levels and improved operational efficiencies. The staff was very pleased with the Dorner conveyors, validating the decision and helping Monterey Mushroom meet its goal to be the best in the industry.
