Arnott Stainless conveyor

• Moving packaged food items or raw ingredients between processing stages.
• Transporting components in light manufacturing or assembly lines.
• Facilitating product flow in pharmaceutical or cosmetic production environments.
• Handling goods in cleanroom or hygiene-sensitive applications.
• Integrating into automated sorting or packing systems.

Typical belt material

Slat band conveyors of this type commonly feature acetal or polypropylene slats for durability and hygiene.

Typical frame material

For food and pharmaceutical applications, frames are typically constructed from 304 or 316 grade stainless steel.

Power supply

Units of this class commonly operate on a 3-phase industrial supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, though single-phase options may be available for smaller units.

Typical speed range

Conveyor speeds are often variable, typically ranging from 5 to 30 metres per minute, depending on the drive system and application.

Common features

Units often include adjustable height, variable speed control, and emergency stop functionality.

Maintenance requirements

Regular cleaning, lubrication of bearings, and inspection of the belt and motor are typically required to ensure optimal operation.

• What are the benefits of a slat band conveyor?

  Slat band conveyors are robust, offer a stable conveying surface, and are well-suited for handling a variety of product shapes and sizes, particularly in wet or washdown environments.

• Is this conveyor suitable for food contact?

• Can the speed be adjusted?

• What is the typical lifespan of a used conveyor?

• Are spare parts readily available for Arnott conveyors?

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.
