Ctrak Stainless conveyor

• Transporting raw ingredients or finished products within a food processing line.
• Moving packaged goods between different stages of production or packaging.
• Facilitating inspection or sorting processes on a production line.
• Integrating with other machinery such as fillers, sealers, or ovens.
• Transferring items in washdown environments due to its stainless steel construction.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on belt speed and product characteristics; for this class of equipment, it can range from hundreds to thousands of items per hour.

Power supply

Commonly 3-phase industrial power, typically 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Construction material

Stainless steel frame is standard for food processing environments, ensuring hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Belt material

Typically food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic belting, selected for durability and specific application requirements.

Maintenance requirements

Regular cleaning, belt tension checks, and motor/bearing lubrication are typically required for optimal operation.

Footprint

For this class of conveyor, the length and width are the primary determinants, with height often adjustable.

• What are the advantages of a stainless steel conveyor in food processing?

  Stainless steel offers excellent hygiene properties, is resistant to corrosion from cleaning agents and food acids, and is durable in wet or washdown environments, making it ideal for food contact applications.

• Can the belt speed be adjusted on a used conveyor?

• What type of products is this conveyor suitable for?

• What should I check when buying a used stainless steel conveyor?

• Is installation complex for this type of equipment?

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.
