Blackrow Stainless conveyor

• Transporting raw ingredients or finished products within a food processing line.
• Moving packaged goods between different stages of production or packaging.
• Integrating with other processing machinery such as ovens, chillers, or depositors.
• Facilitating inspection or sorting processes on a production line.

Typical throughput

Throughput for this class of equipment is highly variable, depending on product size, weight, and line speed, but units commonly handle several hundred items per minute.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with a motor rating often in the range of 0.37kW to 1.5kW depending on length and load.

Construction material

For food processing applications, conveyors are almost exclusively constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Belt type

Modular plastic belts are common for their durability, ease of cleaning, and ability to handle various product types without slippage.

Typical footprint

While specific dimensions vary, a unit of this type typically has a belt width between 200mm and 800mm and lengths from 1.5m to over 10m.

Hygiene standards

Equipment for food processing is designed to meet stringent hygiene standards, often featuring open designs for easy cleaning and sanitisation.

• What type of products can this conveyor handle?

  Modular belt conveyors are versatile and can handle a wide range of products, including unpackaged food items, packaged goods, boxes, and trays, provided they fit the belt dimensions and weight capacity.

• Is this conveyor suitable for washdown environments?

• Can the speed of the conveyor be adjusted?

• What maintenance is typically required for a conveyor of this type?

• What are the common safety features on such conveyors?

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.
