Arnott conveyors

• Transferring raw ingredients within a food processing line.
• Moving packaged food products between stages of production or to packing stations.
• Handling waste products or by-products in a hygienic manner.
• Integrating into automated systems for sorting or inspection of food items.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on belt speed and product density; commonly designed for continuous flow.

Power supply

Typically 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz for industrial food processing environments, though smaller units may use single-phase.

Construction material

For this class of equipment, stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) is standard for frames and contact parts to meet hygiene regulations.

Belt material

Commonly food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic belts, selected for durability, ease of cleaning, and product compatibility.

Maintenance requirements

Regular cleaning, belt tension checks, and motor/bearing lubrication are typically required to ensure operational longevity and hygiene.

Footprint

The length and width of the belt define the primary footprint, with motor and drive components adding to the overall dimensions.

• What types of products can this conveyor handle?

  This type of conveyor is suitable for a wide range of food products, including bulk ingredients, packaged goods, and items requiring gentle handling, depending on the specific belt type and configuration.

• Is this unit suitable for washdown environments?

• Can the belt speed be adjusted?

• What are the typical safety features?

• How easy is it to integrate into an existing line?

Buyers typically value conveyor systems for their reliability and longevity when well-maintained. Key considerations when purchasing used units include belt condition, motor functionality, frame integrity, and available spare parts. Industry sentiment emphasises the importance of verifying operational history and cleanliness standards, particularly for food handling applications. Common strengths include robust construction, relatively straightforward maintenance requirements, and cost savings versus new equipment. Reputable manufacturers' models tend to hold their value well and integrate readily into existing production lines.
