Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Transporting raw ingredients between processing stages in bakeries and confectioneries.
• Moving packaged food items through quality control or labelling stations.
• Handling bulk dry goods such as grains, pulses, or spices in food preparation areas.
• Facilitating the transfer of waste products or by-products in food manufacturing.
• Integrating into automated production lines for continuous product flow.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from 50 kg/hour to several tonnes/hour, depending on belt width and speed.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type is a 3-phase electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) for motor operation, though smaller units may use single-phase.

Belt material

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

Adjustable height range

Units with adjustable height commonly offer a vertical range of 300mm to 800mm, allowing integration with various existing machinery.

Footprint

The footprint varies significantly based on length and width; buyers should consider available floor space and required reach.

Speed control

Many conveyors in this category feature variable speed control, typically via an inverter, to match production line requirements.
