• 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 Specifications

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.
