Cretors Flighted Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Transporting snack foods such as popcorn, crisps, or nuts from processing to packaging lines.
• Moving granular or small bulk ingredients within a food production facility.
• Elevating products to different heights for further processing or discharge into hoppers.
• Handling confectionery items requiring gentle, controlled movement.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on product density and belt speed; buyers should consult the seller for specific performance data.

Power supply

Commonly 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz for units of this type in the UK, with motor ratings typically ranging from 0.37kW to 1.5kW.

Construction material

Typically stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) for food contact surfaces and framework, ensuring hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Belt material

Often food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic, selected for durability, cleanability, and suitability for the product being conveyed.

Flight configuration

Flights are typically spaced and sized to prevent product rollback on inclines and ensure consistent product transfer.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, the overall length and width are determined by the belt dimensions and motor placement. Buyers should confirm exact dimensions with the seller.

Maintenance requirements

Regular cleaning, belt tension checks, and lubrication of bearings are typically required to ensure optimal operation and hygiene.
