Conveyor Belt

Applications & Use Cases

• Moving raw ingredients such as vegetables, fruits, or grains between processing stages.
• Transporting packaged food items from production lines to packing or palletising areas.
• Facilitating inspection and sorting processes for various food products.
• Transferring waste products or by-products away from the main processing line.
• Integrating into automated systems for continuous product flow in bakeries, dairies, or meat processing plants.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Varies significantly based on belt width and speed, typically ranging from a few kilograms to several tonnes per hour for this class of equipment.

Power supply

Commonly 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz, with smaller units potentially operating on 230V, 1-phase.

Belt material

Typically food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic, selected for hygiene and resistance to specific food types.

Frame material

Often stainless steel for food contact areas and washdown environments, or painted mild steel for less stringent applications.

Operating speed

Variable, typically ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 metres per second, often adjustable via a variable frequency drive (VFD).

Typical footprint

Highly variable depending on length and width, but for this class of equipment, lengths commonly range from 1 to 10 metres, with widths from 300mm to 1200mm.

Hygiene standards

Units for food processing are typically designed for ease of cleaning and compliance with HACCP principles.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What should I consider regarding belt material for my application?

  The belt material must be food-grade and suitable for the specific product (e.g., oily, abrasive, hot). Consider resistance to cleaning chemicals and temperature ranges.

• How do I determine the correct length and width?

• Is this conveyor suitable for washdown environments?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used conveyor belt?

• Can the speed of the conveyor be adjusted?

• What safety features should I look for?
