Conveyor Belt

Applications & Use Cases

• Moving raw ingredients such as grains, powders, or fresh produce between processing stages.
• Transporting finished food products for packaging or further distribution.
• Handling waste products or by-products within a food processing facility.
• Integrating into automated production lines for continuous material flow.
• Used for inspection, sorting, or cooling processes where products need to be moved steadily.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Capacity varies significantly based on belt width, speed, and product density, commonly ranging from a few kilograms to several tonnes per hour.

Power supply

Typically requires a 3-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK, with motor sizes varying by length and load.

Belt material

Commonly food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic belts for hygiene and durability in food environments.

Frame material

Often constructed from stainless steel for corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning, particularly in wet or washdown areas.

Speed control

Many units feature variable speed drives to adjust throughput according to production requirements.

Typical footprint

Footprint is highly variable, from short transfer conveyors of 1-2 metres to long production line conveyors spanning tens of metres.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What should I consider regarding hygiene for a used food-grade conveyor?

  Assess the belt material for damage or wear, and inspect the frame for areas where food particles could accumulate. Ensure it can be effectively cleaned to meet food safety standards.

• Are spare parts readily available for unknown manufacturer conveyors?

• What are the common wear parts on a conveyor belt?

• Can this conveyor be integrated into an existing line?
