Ctrak Flighted Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Transporting delicate food items such as baked goods or confectionery.
• Moving small, loose products like grains, nuts, or chopped vegetables.
• Inclined transfer of products between different processing stages.
• Handling sticky or irregularly shaped food products that require positive displacement.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly based on product density and belt speed, typically ranging from hundreds of kilograms to several tonnes per hour.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, which is standard in UK food processing facilities.

Construction material

The frame and contact parts are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel, ensuring hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Belt material

Conveyor belts for food applications are commonly made from PU (polyurethane) or PVC (polyvinyl chloride), selected for their durability and food-safe properties.

Flight height

Flights on these conveyors commonly range from 10mm to 50mm, designed to prevent product rollback on inclines and separate items.

Footprint

The overall footprint will vary with belt length and width, but for a unit of this size, it typically requires approximately 3.5m x 0.8m of floor space, plus access for maintenance.
