'AlaTrade Foods is a custom food processor that services large poultry processors requiring intensive amounts of labor in processes such as deboning. AlaTrade debones approximately 1 million fronts a week, which calculates to about 2 million pounds per week. To achieve a quick response time and adhere to the high sanitation standards, Alatrade Foods leverages process efficiencies with state-of-the-art Van der Graaf Sanitary Drum Motors to drive their conveyors. “AlaTrade has been doing business with Van der Graaf for about 12 years,” says Kevin W. Parnell, plant manager at AlaTrade Foods. “ Since that time, we have seen the potential for us to limit the amount of downtime we’ve had and also make a safer work environment. With AlaTrade Foods being a player in the poultry industry, food safety is — has to be — at the top of our priority list, and Van der Graaf plays a huge role in us being able to do that. From a management standpoint, [if] you have something that is not going to fail, [it] allows you to focus your attention on other things that improve your process instead of a motor or whether it’s going to go out.” Learn more at www.vandergraaf.com'
