90 Degree Conveyor

• Changing the direction of product flow on a processing or packaging line.
• Integrating different stages of a production process where linear space is limited.
• Transferring items between parallel conveyor lines or workstations.
• Optimising floor space utilisation in food processing and industrial environments.

Belt Type

Units of this type commonly feature modular plastic belts, such as Intralox, suitable for various product types and washdown environments.

Frame Material

For food processing applications, frames are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Belt Width

Conveyor belt widths for 90-degree bends commonly range from 150mm to 600mm, with 300mm being a frequent specification.

Footprint

The footprint for a 90-degree bend conveyor is determined by the belt width and bend radius, typically requiring a square or rectangular area commensurate with the bend.

Drive System

Typically driven by an electric motor with a geared reducer, often positioned underneath the conveyor for space efficiency.

Power Supply

Commonly requires a standard industrial electrical supply, such as 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz, though single-phase options may exist for smaller units.

• What types of products can this conveyor handle?

  A 90-degree conveyor with an Intralox belt is suitable for a wide range of products, including packaged goods, raw food items, and components, depending on the specific belt surface and pitch.

• Is this unit suitable for washdown environments?

• What maintenance is typically required for a 90-degree conveyor?

• Can the speed of the conveyor be adjusted?

• How is a 90-degree conveyor integrated into an existing line?

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.
