Conveyor Belt

Applications & Use Cases

• Moving raw ingredients such as grains, powders, or small food items between processing stages.
• Transporting packaged food products from production lines to packing or dispatch areas.
• Facilitating inspection and sorting of food items on a continuous flow basis.
• Integrating with other food processing machinery for automated material transfer.
• Handling waste products or by-products in a hygienic manner within a food facility.

Typical Specifications

Typical belt width

Commonly ranges from 300mm to 1200mm, depending on the intended throughput and product size.

Typical length

For this class of equipment, lengths can vary significantly, typically from 2m to 15m for standalone units, with modular systems allowing for greater customisation.

Typical capacity

Throughput capacity is highly dependent on belt speed, width, and product density, but units of this type commonly handle several tonnes per hour.

Power supply

Typically requires a 3-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with motor sizes varying based on length and load.

Belt material

Commonly food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic belting, selected for hygiene and resistance to specific food products.

Frame material

Often constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance in food processing environments.

Speed control

Many units feature variable speed drives, allowing adjustment of belt speed to suit different products and processes.
