Marel 90 degree conveyor

• Transporting products between processing stages in food factories.
• Changing the direction of product flow on a production line.
• Integrating different pieces of equipment with varying orientations.
• Moving packaged goods in end-of-line operations.
• Handling bulk materials in a controlled manner within a facility.

Typical belt material

Modular plastic (e.g., Intralox) is common for food processing applications due to hygiene and durability.

Common belt width range

For this class of equipment, belt widths typically range from 200mm to 600mm, with 300mm being a common size.

Frame material

Stainless steel is standard for units used in food processing environments, ensuring corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning.

Drive type

Units commonly feature a geared motor drive, often positioned underneath or at the side of the conveyor.

Typical power supply

Most industrial conveyors operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Typical throughput

Throughput capacity is highly variable, depending on belt speed, product size, and density. Buyers should consult the seller for specific unit performance.

Common footprint considerations

A 90-degree conveyor requires a footprint that accommodates both the belt width and the turning radius, typically a square or rectangular area for the turn.

• What are the benefits of an Intralox belt?

  Intralox belts are modular plastic belts known for their durability, ease of cleaning, and resistance to chemicals and temperature variations, making them suitable for food contact applications.

• Is this conveyor suitable for washdown environments?

• What kind of products can this conveyor handle?

• How is the belt speed typically controlled?

• What maintenance is typically required for such a conveyor?

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.
