Compac - Conveyor Belt

• Used for transporting raw ingredients such as fruit, vegetables, or meat cuts between processing stages.
• Suitable for moving packaged food products within a production line or to a packing station.
• Often integrated into sorting and grading lines for gentle product handling.
• Utilised for waste product removal in food processing environments.

Typical belt width

Commonly ranges from 300mm to 1000mm for food processing applications.

Typical belt material

Often food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic belting for hygiene and durability.

Frame material

Typically stainless steel (grade 304 or 316) for corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning.

Power supply

Commonly 3-phase industrial power (e.g., 400V, 50Hz in the UK), though smaller units may be single-phase.

Speed control

Many units feature variable speed drives for process flexibility.

Hygiene features

Units designed for food processing typically have open frames for washdown and quick-release belts.

• What maintenance is typically required for a used conveyor belt?

  Regular cleaning, belt tension checks, lubrication of bearings, and inspection of motors and gearboxes are standard. Belt replacement may be needed depending on wear.

• Can this conveyor be integrated into an existing line?

• What are the common safety features on food-grade conveyors?

• Is this unit suitable for wet or washdown environments?

• What type of product can this conveyor handle?

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.
