Cotswold Mechanical 180degree conveyor

• Transporting products around corners in food processing lines.
• Integrating into existing conveyor networks to change product direction.
• Handling packaged goods or individual components requiring a 180-degree turn.
• Suitable for use in cleanroom environments due to stainless steel construction.

Typical throughput

Variable, dependent on belt speed and product size; commonly designed for continuous flow.

Power supply

For this class of equipment, 3-phase electrical supply is standard, often 400V.

Construction material

Units of this type typically feature stainless steel frames and components for hygiene and durability.

Belt type

Slat chain belts are common for their robustness and ability to handle various product types.

Motor power

Motor power for 180-degree conveyors typically ranges from 0.18kW to 0.75kW, depending on load and speed requirements.

Footprint

The footprint will be determined by the arc radius and belt width; buyers should confirm exact dimensions with the seller.

• What types of products can this conveyor handle?

  Slat chain conveyors are versatile and can handle a wide range of products, including packaged goods, trays, and some individual components, provided they are stable on the belt.

• Is this unit suitable for washdown environments?

• Can the belt speed be adjusted?

• What maintenance is typically required for a slat chain conveyor?

• What are the common integration challenges with existing lines?

Buyers typically value conveyor systems for their reliability and longevity when well-maintained. Key considerations when purchasing used units include belt condition, motor functionality, frame integrity, and available spare parts. Industry sentiment emphasises the importance of verifying operational history and cleanliness standards, particularly for food handling applications. Common strengths include robust construction, relatively straightforward maintenance requirements, and cost savings versus new equipment. Reputable manufacturers' models tend to hold their value well and integrate readily into existing production lines.
