Conveyor Belt

Applications & Use Cases

• Moving raw ingredients such as grains, powders, or small food items between processing stages.
• Transporting packaged food products for inspection, labelling, or final packaging.
• Handling waste products or by-products within a food processing facility.
• Integrating into automated production lines for continuous material flow.
• Cooling or drying products as they move along the belt.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Varies significantly based on belt width and speed; typically designed for continuous material flow up to several tonnes per hour for this class of equipment.

Power supply

Commonly 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz for the motor, though smaller units might use 230V, 1-phase.

Belt material

Typically food-grade PVC, PU, or rubber, chosen for hygiene and resistance to specific food products.

Belt width

Commonly ranges from 300mm to 1000mm, depending on the intended throughput and product size.

Frame material

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

Speed control

Many units feature variable speed drives (VSD) for adjustable throughput.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What should I consider regarding the belt material?
