Triton Innovation is proud to highlight a successful partnership with GTF, integrating Triton’s hygienic Z‑Style Conveyor into their innovative RENU™ Drying & Milling System. RENU uses a patented, low‑temperature Impact Flash Drying technology that rapidly transforms moisture‑laden materials into valuable powders, helping food and beverage manufacturers reduce waste, lower operating costs, and monetize side streams.

A Growing Need for Infeed Automation
 As GTF scaled its technology, manual feeding became highly impractical for long‑term production. Simplifying operator interface and automating the infeed of organic materials became essential. GTF sought a food‑grade solution that could integrate seamlessly with the RENU system, maintain strict sanitation standards, and handle a wide range of materials, from fruits and pulps to fibers and grains.

Selecting the Right Food Equipment Partner
After evaluating multiple conveyor manufacturers, GTF selected Triton Innovation based on their customer service, industry experience, and ability to customize equipment to fit unique process requirements. Triton designed and supplied a Z‑Style conveyor that transfers up to 2,200 pounds per hour of organic material directly into the RENU Mill, replacing manual scooping with a reliable, automated solution.

Simplifying Cleanability and Sanitation for GTF
With cleanability and ease of use in mind, the conveyor features custom clean‑in‑place spray bars that allow automated, hands‑free belt cleaning and a tool‑less stainless‑steel discharge chute that enables quick access for manual sanitation. The tool-less chute eliminated the need for the GTF sanitation team to carry the required tools up a ladder for removing fasteners and made the task of removal much easier while working in a limited space around the other equipment in the system to perform the required cleaning. These features help minimize downtime between product changeovers while supporting GTF’s hygienic and operational standards.

Our Collaboration with GTF
GTF has praised the system’s ease of use, straightforward controls integration, and outstanding cleanability, noting Triton’s collaborative approach throughout the project. For Triton, the partnership reflects a shared commitment to innovation, sustainability, and purposeful design, supporting GTF’s mission to reduce waste and transform underused resources into nutritious, profitable products. We look forward to the continued collaboration with GTF on future projects!
