Unknown - Conveyor Belt

• 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 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.

• What kind of products can this conveyor handle?

  Conveyor belts with reject arms are suitable for handling a wide range of discrete food products, packaged goods, or certain bulk materials, depending on the belt type and reject mechanism.

• How are the reject arms typically activated?

• Is this unit suitable for washdown environments?

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

• Can the speed of the conveyor be adjusted?

Buyers typically value conveyor systems for their reliability and longevity when well-maintained. Key considerations when purchasing used units include belt condition, motor functionality, frame integrity, and available spare parts. Industry sentiment emphasises the importance of verifying operational history and cleanliness standards, particularly for food handling applications. Common strengths include robust construction, relatively straightforward maintenance requirements, and cost savings versus new equipment. Reputable manufacturers' models tend to hold their value well and integrate readily into existing production lines.
