Conveyor Lines - Ltd Straight Conveyor & Roller Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Transporting raw ingredients or finished products between processing stages.
• Moving packaged goods for inspection, labelling, or dispatch.
• Integrating into automated production lines for continuous material flow.
• Buffering products temporarily between different operational speeds.
• Facilitating manual sorting or quality control points on a production line.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Varies significantly based on belt width, speed, and product weight; typically designed for continuous throughput of light to medium-weight food items.

Power supply

Commonly 400V 3-phase, though smaller units or specific motors may use 230V single-phase. Buyers should verify exact motor specifications.

Conveyor belt material

Often food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic belting for hygiene and durability in food environments. Roller conveyors typically use stainless steel or plastic rollers.

Typical speed range

Variable speed drives are common, allowing for adjustment from slow inspection speeds to higher transfer rates, typically from 0.1 to 1.0 metres per second.

Frame construction

Typically stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance in food processing environments. Aluminium or mild steel (painted/coated) may be used for less demanding applications.

Maintenance requirements

Regular cleaning, belt tension checks, lubrication of bearings (if applicable), and inspection of motor and gearbox are typically required.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between a straight conveyor and a roller conveyor?

  A straight conveyor typically uses a continuous belt to move products, suitable for a wide range of items. A roller conveyor uses a series of rotating rollers, often better for flat-bottomed items or heavier loads, and can be gravity-fed or powered.

• Can these conveyors be used for unpackaged food products?

• Are these units easy to integrate into an existing line?

• What kind of products are best suited for a roller conveyor?
