Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Moving raw ingredients such as grains, powders, or bulk solids between processing stages.
• Transporting packaged food items from production lines to packing or palletising stations.
• Facilitating the transfer of waste products or by-products in food processing environments.
• Integrating into automated systems for sorting, weighing, or inspection of food products.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacity can range from a few kilograms per hour for small units to several tonnes per hour for larger industrial conveyors, depending on belt width and speed.

Power supply

Conveyors commonly operate on standard industrial power supplies, typically 400V 3-phase, though smaller units may use 230V single-phase.

Conveyor belt material

Belts are typically made from food-grade materials such as PVC, PU, or modular plastic, selected for hygiene and resistance to specific food products.

Typical footprint

The footprint varies significantly; units can be short, straight sections of a few metres or complex, multi-directional systems extending much further. Buyers should consider available floor space and required reach.

Speed control

Many industrial conveyors feature variable speed drives, allowing for adjustment of throughput to match processing requirements.

Frame material

Frames are commonly constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance in food processing environments, or mild steel with appropriate coatings.
