From headquarters in the USA, and facilities in The Netherlands, Australia, Mexico, and China—Key circles the globe with automated process technology and innovations that assure quality, efficiency, and rapid return on investment.

Key Basics
We design, manufacture and market process automation systems for food and other industries. This technology integrates automated optical inspection systems, specialized conveyor systems, and processing/preparation systems, as well as research, development, and world-class engineering. Our served markets range from fruit, vegetables, potatoes, snacks, cereals, and meat, to tobacco, pet food, plastics, and pharmaceutical/nutraceutical manufacturing.

Vision Systems
Key's automated sorting equipment replaces manual inspection and less advanced optical sorters, bringing color vision, intelligent selection, split-second defect removal, and reliable good-product recovery to the plant. Key's advanced vision systems find and remove foreign material with cameras and laser sorting technology allowing processors to deliver the highest quality product to consumers.

Vibratory Conveyor Systems
Key changed noisy, damaging conveying into a quiet, smooth, efficient ride. Our Smart Shaker® line features Iso-Flo®, the industry flagship for specialized vibratory conveyors, with more than 25,000 installations worldwide and unequalled performance for handling specific applications and capacities. Further innovations provide continuous processing, increased control, and longer machine life, whether handling fruit, vegetables, snacks or poultry.

Processing Systems
Key helps processors meet precise quality and appearance specifications for maximum shelf appeal. The Farmco family of grading and food sizing equipment ensures consistency in whole and sliced fruits and vegetables. Freshline automatic washers, dryers, slicers, baggers and full production lines bring food safety, efficiency, and automation to the fresh cut processing and ready-to-eat salad industry.
