Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Moving ingredients between processing stages in bakeries or confectionery lines.
• Transporting packaged food products for inspection, labelling, or packing.
• Handling raw produce such as fruits or vegetables during washing or sorting.
• Transferring bulk dry goods like grains, nuts, or spices within a facility.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can range from a few hundred kilograms per hour to several tonnes per hour, depending on belt width and speed.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type is a 3-phase industrial electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, though single-phase options exist for lighter duty models.

Belt material

Belts are typically made from food-grade materials such as PVC, polyurethane (PU), or modular plastic, selected for hygiene and durability.

Frame material

The frame is commonly constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance in food environments, or sometimes painted mild steel for less demanding applications.

Speed control

Many conveyors in this category feature variable speed control, often via an inverter drive, to integrate with different production line speeds.

Footprint

The footprint is highly variable, but typically, conveyors are designed to fit within existing production lines, with lengths ranging from 1 to over 10 metres and widths from 200mm to 1200mm.
