Central conveyors Ltd - Conveyor 180 Degree

• Transferring products around corners in food production lines.
• Integrating with other processing equipment to maintain product flow.
• Handling packaged or unpackaged food items in a continuous process.
• Optimising floor space utilisation in processing facilities.

Typical throughput

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

Belt material

Plastic Intralox belts are typical for food contact, offering good hygiene and wear resistance.

Frame material

Stainless steel is standard for food processing environments, ensuring durability and ease of cleaning.

Power supply

Typically 3-phase industrial power (e.g., 400V, 50Hz in the UK) for the motor, though smaller units might use single-phase.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, a 180-degree turn minimises linear space, with overall dimensions dependent on the radius and belt width.

Hygiene features

Units commonly feature open frame designs and food-grade materials for easy washdown and sanitation.

Speed control

Many units are equipped with variable speed drives to integrate with different line speeds.

• What types of products can this conveyor handle?

  This type of conveyor is suitable for a wide range of food products, including packaged goods, raw ingredients, and semi-processed items, provided they are stable on the belt.

• Is this conveyor easy to clean?

• Can the belt speed be adjusted?

• What maintenance is typically required?

• Are spare parts readily available for Intralox belts?

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.
