Layton Systems Completes Manufacturing of 110-Foot Horizontal Motion Rapid Return Conveyor for U.S. Snack Food Producer

Salem, OR – December 29, 2025 — Layton Systems has completed the manufacturing of a 110-foot-long Horizontal Motion Rapid Return conveyor system for a U.S.-based snack food manufacturer, further demonstrating the company’s expertise in high-capacity product handling solutions for the snack food industry.

The Rapid Return conveyor is designed to distribute extruded snack products through multiple discharge gates, efficiently supplying product to multiple scales and bagging machines from a single conveyor line. Despite its extended length and high production demands, the system operates with one end drive, delivering the required throughput while minimizing energy usage.

This single-drive configuration allows the customer to benefit from reduced power consumption, simplified maintenance, and improved system reliability, resulting in a lower total cost of ownership. The design reflects Layton Systems’ focus on providing efficient, scalable solutions tailored to modern snack food production environments.

The system is scheduled for delivery to the customer’s U.S. facility in the coming weeks.
