A tubular steel machine frame provides stability and strength while eliminating catchpoints for dust accumulation, to maintain cleanliness for food plant requirements. All components that contact the product are constructed of stainless steel for sanitary product handling. Maintenance requirements are minimized with sealed bearings, permanently lubricated air cylinders, air inlet regulator, and Venturi vacuum system.
