Arnott - Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Moving raw ingredients such as vegetables, fruits, or grains between processing stages.
• Transporting finished food products for packaging or further distribution.
• Facilitating the transfer of waste materials within a food processing facility.
• Integrating with other machinery like washers, sorters, or fillers to create automated lines.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Capacity for this class of equipment varies significantly, typically ranging from a few kilograms per hour for small units to several tonnes per hour for larger, industrial systems.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, power requirements are typically 230V or 400V three-phase, with motor ratings varying based on belt width and load.

Belt material

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

Frame material

Frames are commonly constructed from stainless steel (304 or 316 grade) for corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning in food environments, or sometimes painted mild steel for less demanding applications.

Operating speed

Operating speeds are typically variable, often controlled by an inverter, allowing adjustment from slow indexing to continuous high-speed transfer.

Footprint

The footprint for this class of equipment can vary from compact units of 1-2 metres in length to extensive systems spanning tens of metres, depending on application and layout.
