Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Transporting raw ingredients such as grains, powders, or small food items between processing stages.
• Moving packaged food products along an assembly line for labelling, sealing, or boxing.
• Facilitating the transfer of waste products or by-products in a food processing facility.
• Integrating into automated systems for sorting and distribution of food items.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly based on belt speed and material density, typically ranging from a few hundred kilograms to several tonnes per hour.

Power supply

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

Belt material

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

Frame construction

Frames are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance in food processing environments, or painted mild steel for less demanding applications.

Speed control

Many units of this type feature variable speed drives, allowing adjustment of the belt speed to suit different product types and production rates.

Hygiene features

Designs often incorporate features for ease of cleaning, such as open frames, quick-release belts, and washdown capabilities, crucial for food safety compliance.
