Compac - Conveyor Belt

Applications & Use Cases

• Transporting raw ingredients such as grains, powders, or vegetables between processing stages.
• Moving packaged food products from production lines to packing or palletising stations.
• Facilitating inspection and sorting processes for various food items.
• Transferring waste products or by-products away from the main production area.

Typical Specifications

Typical belt material

Commonly food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic, selected for hygiene and durability.

Typical capacity

Varies significantly, but for this class of equipment, throughput can range from hundreds of kilograms to several tonnes per hour, depending on belt width and speed.

Power supply

Typically 3-phase industrial power (e.g., 400V, 50Hz in the UK) for the motor, though smaller units might be single-phase.

Typical belt width

Commonly ranges from 300mm to 1000mm, influencing the volume of product it can handle simultaneously.

Typical speed range

Often adjustable, with speeds typically ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 metres per second, allowing for process optimisation.

Frame construction

Usually stainless steel for food contact areas and washdown capability, or painted mild steel for non-food contact applications.
