Conveyor Belt

Applications & Use Cases

• Transporting raw ingredients or finished products between processing stages.
• Moving packaged goods for inspection, labelling, or further packaging.
• Facilitating sorting and rejection of items based on quality or other parameters.
• Integrating into automated production lines for continuous material flow.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment commonly ranges from hundreds to several thousand items or kilograms per hour, depending on belt width and speed.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on standard industrial three-phase power, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Belt material

Commonly food-grade materials such as PVC, PU, or modular plastic belts are used, selected for hygiene and durability.

Frame construction

Frames are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance in food processing environments.

Reject mechanism

Reject arms commonly employ pneumatic or electric actuators for diverting non-conforming products from the main flow.

Footprint

The footprint varies significantly but typically ranges from 2 to 10 metres in length and 0.5 to 1.5 metres in width for standard units.
