Cobra - Crate Chain Conveyor

• Transporting crates or trays between different processing stages in food production.
• Moving packaged goods in distribution centres or warehousing operations.
• Handling bulk containers in agricultural settings, such as produce packing lines.
• Integrating into automated systems for sorting and conveying items in manufacturing plants.

Typical capacity

Typically designed for continuous flow, handling multiple crates per minute depending on size and speed settings.

Power supply

Commonly operates on standard industrial voltages, such as 400V 3-phase, often with a dedicated motor.

Chain material

Typically features robust plastic or stainless steel chains, suitable for food-grade environments and washdown.

Incline angle

Units of this type commonly offer adjustable or fixed incline angles, typically ranging from 15 to 45 degrees, to elevate products.

Frame construction

Often constructed from stainless steel or painted mild steel, depending on the intended operating environment and hygiene requirements.

Throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput is typically determined by chain speed and crate dimensions, allowing for efficient material flow.

• What types of crates can this conveyor handle?

  This type of conveyor is typically designed to handle standard industrial crates, trays, and sometimes boxes, provided they have a suitable base for chain engagement. Buyers should confirm specific crate dimensions with the seller.

• Is this conveyor suitable for washdown environments?

• What maintenance is typically required for a chain conveyor?

• Can the speed of the conveyor be adjusted?

• What are the typical safety features on such a conveyor?

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.
