AS Conveyor

• Moving products between different stages of a food processing line.
• Transporting packaged goods for inspection or further processing.
• Feeding ingredients into mixers or other processing machinery.
• Accumulating products before packing or palletising.

Typical throughput

Variable speed conveyors of this size typically handle light to medium loads, with throughput dependent on belt speed and product weight.

Power supply

This unit is specified as 1-phase. For this class of equipment, 1-phase power is commonly found, often 230V in the UK.

Belt material

Belts for food processing conveyors are typically made from food-grade materials such as PVC, polyurethane, or modular plastic, chosen for hygiene and durability.

Frame material

The frame is commonly constructed from stainless steel for food processing environments, ensuring corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning.

Speed control

Variable speed functionality is standard for this type of conveyor, allowing for integration into diverse production lines.

Footprint

For a belt of 600mm x 300mm, the overall footprint will be slightly larger to accommodate the motor, frame, and supports.

• What maintenance is typically required for a conveyor system?

  Routine maintenance usually involves checking belt tension and alignment, lubricating bearings, and inspecting for wear or damage. Regular cleaning is also essential, especially in food processing.

• Can this conveyor be integrated into an existing line?

• What types of products are suitable for this conveyor?

• Are spare parts readily available for AS Conveyor systems?

• What are the common safety features on such 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.
