Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Transporting packaged food items between processing stages or to packaging lines.
• Moving raw ingredients such as fruits, vegetables, or bulk powders within a facility.
• Facilitating inspection or sorting processes for various food products.
• Transferring finished goods to dispatch areas or storage.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

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

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type is a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, though smaller units may use single-phase.

Conveyor belt material

Belts are typically made from food-grade materials such as PVC, PU, or modular plastic, selected for hygiene and durability.

Frame construction

The frame is commonly constructed from stainless steel for food contact areas and washdown environments, or painted mild steel for less demanding applications.

Operating speed

Operating speeds are typically variable, controlled by an inverter, allowing adjustment to suit product flow and process requirements.

Footprint

The footprint for end conveyors can vary significantly, but typically they are designed to integrate into existing lines, with lengths from 1 to 5 metres and widths from 300 to 1000 mm.
