Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Moving bulk ingredients like grains, powders, or prepared foods between processing stages.
• Transporting packaged food products for inspection, labelling, or final packing.
• Integrating into automated production lines for continuous material flow.
• Handling waste products or by-products within a food processing facility.

Typical Specifications

Typical width

For a 'wide conveyor' in food processing, widths commonly range from 600mm to 1200mm, allowing for larger product volumes or wider items.

Conveyor belt material

Typically food-grade materials such as PU (polyurethane), PVC (polyvinyl chloride), or modular plastic belting, chosen for hygiene and durability.

Frame material

Commonly stainless steel (grades 304 or 316) for corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning in food environments.

Power supply

Typically 3-phase industrial power (e.g., 400V, 50Hz in the UK) for motor operation, though smaller units might use single-phase.

Speed control

Many units feature variable speed drives (VSDs) to adjust throughput according to production requirements.

Hygiene features

Designs often include open frames for easy cleaning, quick-release belts, and washdown capabilities to meet food safety standards.
