Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Moving raw ingredients such as fruit, vegetables, or bulk powders between processing stages.
• Transporting packaged food items from filling to sealing or labelling stations.
• Facilitating the transfer of waste products or by-products in food manufacturing environments.
• Integrating into automated production lines for continuous material flow.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment commonly ranges from a few kilograms to several tonnes per hour, depending on belt width and speed.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on standard industrial voltages, commonly 230V single-phase or 400V three-phase, 50Hz.

Belt material

For food processing applications, belts are commonly made from food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic, ensuring hygiene and durability.

Footprint

The footprint varies significantly; buyers should consider available space for length, width, and height, including any support structures.

Speed control

Many food-grade conveyors feature variable speed drives for precise control over product flow.

Frame construction

Frames are typically constructed from stainless steel for corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning in food environments.
