Knobel - Conveyor Belt

Applications & Use Cases

• Transporting raw ingredients, such as fruits, vegetables, or bulk powders, between processing stages.
• Moving semi-finished products, like dough or confectionery items, through cooling or drying tunnels.
• Facilitating the transfer of packaged goods from production lines to packing or palletising stations.
• Integrating into automated systems for sorting, weighing, or inspection of food products.

Typical Specifications

Typical belt width

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

Typical length

Varies significantly, from short transfer units of 1 metre to longer production line segments exceeding 10 metres.

Belt material

Typically food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic, selected for hygiene, durability, and resistance to oils or chemicals.

Frame material

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

Power supply

Typically 3-phase, 400V, 50Hz, with smaller units potentially using single-phase.

Speed control

Variable speed drives (VSDs) are commonly fitted for precise control over product flow.

Throughput

Highly dependent on belt speed, width, and product characteristics; buyers should consult the seller for specific unit capabilities.
