90 Degree Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Changing product direction on a processing line, such as between different stages of washing, cutting, or packaging.
• Integrating with other conveying systems to create complex layouts within a food production facility.
• Transferring products between different pieces of equipment, like from an oven outfeed to a cooling tunnel.
• Optimising floor space by allowing for tighter turns in conveyor routes.
• Accumulating products at a corner before a subsequent process.

Typical Specifications

Typical belt width

Commonly ranges from 150mm to 600mm for this class of equipment, depending on product size and throughput.

Power supply

Typically requires a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with a motor rating of 0.37kW to 1.5kW.

Conveying speed

Variable speed drives are common, allowing speeds from 5 to 30 metres per minute, adjustable to line requirements.

Belt material

Plastic modular belts are standard for food processing, offering durability, hygiene, and resistance to wear and chemicals.

Frame material

Typically constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 grade) to meet food hygiene standards and for corrosion resistance.

Footprint

The footprint will be determined by the belt width and the radius of the 90-degree turn, which varies between models.
