Hapman to Attend The Almond Conference 2025

The bulk material handling experts will feature the CablePro™ Tubular Drag Conveyor at Booth 420

Kalamazoo, MI - Hapman, a global leader in the design and manufacture of custom bulk material handling equipment, is excited to announce its exhibition at The Almond Conference, taking place December 10-12, 2025, in Sacramento, California. Attendees are invited to visit Hapman at Booth 420 to explore the CableProâ„¢ Tubular Drag Conveyor, an advanced conveyor that combines gentle handling, efficiency, and compliance with the most demanding food industry standards.

The CableProâ„¢ Tubular Drag Conveyor is designed specifically for gentle, clean and efficient transport of products, such as nuts, grains, cereals, frozen foods, pet food, and other delicate items. The CableProâ„¢ system features FDA-compliant components, including food-grade coatings and stainless-steel tubing. Another key feature of the CablePro is the self-lubricating UHMW disks, which are injection-molded directly onto a pre-stretched, food-grade oil-lubricated stainless-steel braided cable with a nylon coating. This unique construction helps maintain product integrity and meets the stringent sanitation standards required by the food and beverage industry.

The CableProâ„¢ is available with all-metal or clear sight glass inspection tubes for improved visibility. Integrated cleaning accessories, such as wiper disks, scraper disks, brush boxes, air knives, and single-use sponge disks, support thorough cleaning for food-handling safety.

Engineered for ongoing reliability and performance, CableProâ„¢ incorporates a standard auto-tensioner to maintain the optimal cable tension, extending the cable and disc life while reducing maintenance. Its sealed design with integral drains also supports Clean-In-Place (CIP) protocols, allowing for easier and faster cleaning through various cleaning options, such as mechanical scrapers, fluid rinse and foam cleaners.

To further streamline installation, the tubing is engineered and cut to the required length, sanitary-flanged, and match-marked, enabling faster, labor-saving assembly. The optional sanitary flanged connections enable fully seated tube ends which guarantees a tight gap fit, helping prevent product harborage and contamination. For increased flexibility, standard tube lengths may be field-cut and joined with compression couplers for easy on-site customization. The CableProâ„¢ system also offers integrated floor and ceiling mount options for enhanced installation stability.

The CableProâ„¢ can be seamlessly integrated with other Hapman products and systems, including Bulk Bag Unloaders, Bulk Bag fillers, PosiPortion feeders for precise product delivery, and SolidQuid® liquid-solid mixing systems. This flexibility enables manufacturers to optimize their processes and achieve higher productivity while maintaining quality.

With 80 years of experience, Hapman's team is dedicated to helping customers achieve greater productivity, product quality, and operational safety. Hapman's attendance at the Almond Conference 2025 underscores its commitment to delivering dependable equipment and expert support for ingredient handling, process automation, and material management in the food processing industries.

The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
