Blackrow Stainless conveyor

• Transporting food products within processing lines, such as baked goods, confectionery, or prepared meals.
• Moving packaged goods or components in pharmaceutical or cosmetic manufacturing environments.
• Handling small to medium-sized items in assembly or packaging operations.
• Integrating into automated systems for sorting, weighing, or inspection processes.

Typical throughput

Variable, depending on belt speed and product size; commonly capable of handling several hundred items per hour for this class of equipment.

Power supply

This unit is specified as 0.37kW, 3-phase. Conveyors of this type typically require a standard industrial 3-phase supply (e.g., 400V).

Belt material

Modular belts are commonly made from food-grade plastics such as polypropylene or acetal, suitable for washdown environments.

Frame material

As a 'Stainless conveyor', the frame is typically constructed from 304 or 316 grade stainless steel, offering corrosion resistance and hygiene.

Typical footprint

For a belt length of 3000mm and width of 400mm, the overall footprint will be slightly larger than these dimensions to accommodate the motor and frame.

Maintenance requirements

Commonly involves routine cleaning, belt tension checks, and lubrication of bearings; modular belts simplify section replacement if damage occurs.

• What are the advantages of a modular belt conveyor?

  Modular belts are durable, easy to clean, and can be repaired by replacing individual modules. They are also less prone to tracking issues compared to traditional flat belts.

• Is this conveyor suitable for washdown environments?

• What kind of products can this conveyor handle?

• Can the belt speed be adjusted?

• What are the typical safety features on such a conveyor?

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.
