Small Transfer Conveyor

• Used for moving small food items between processing stages, such as from a slicer to a packaging machine.
• Suitable for transferring products over short distances within a production line.
• Often integrated into existing lines to bridge gaps or change product direction.
• Can be used for inspection tables where products are visually checked before further processing.

Typical belt width

For this class of equipment, belt widths commonly range from 100mm to 300mm.

Typical length

Small transfer conveyors are typically between 1m and 3m in length.

Belt material

Polyurethane (PU) is a common belt material for food contact applications due to its durability and hygiene properties.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on standard single-phase or three-phase industrial voltages, typically 230V or 400V.

Control features

Basic stop/start functionality is standard, with some units offering variable speed control.

Frame material

Frames are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance in food environments.

• What types of food products are suitable for this conveyor?

  This type of conveyor is generally suitable for small, non-abrasive food items, including baked goods, confectionery, fruit, and vegetables. The PU belt is food-grade.

• Is this conveyor easy to integrate into an existing line?

• What maintenance is typically required?

• Can the speed be adjusted?

• What are the typical hygiene standards for this equipment?

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.
