Typical context for this category of equipment. Always confirm specifics with the seller.
Applications & Use Cases
- Draining excess liquid from washed fruits and vegetables prior to further processing or packaging.
- Removing water from blanched or cooked food items to improve product quality and shelf life.
- Separating liquid from solid food waste streams for easier disposal or recycling.
- Dewatering seafood products post-wash to prepare for filleting or freezing.
- Reducing moisture content in snack foods or confectionery items after coating or washing.
Typical Specifications
- Typical throughput
- Throughput for this class of de-watering conveyor can vary significantly, often ranging from 500 kg/hr to several tonnes/hr, depending on product density and moisture content.
- Power supply
- Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, for the conveyor motor and air knife system.
- Belt material
- Belts are typically made from food-grade materials such as modular plastic (e.g., polypropylene, acetal) or stainless steel mesh, chosen for hygiene and durability.
- Frame construction
- The frame is commonly constructed from 304 or 316-grade stainless steel, ensuring corrosion resistance and compliance with food safety standards.
- Air knife system
- An air knife system, as fitted to this unit, typically uses high-velocity ambient air or heated air to effectively shear water from product surfaces.
- Footprint considerations
- For a unit with a 4m length, a total operational footprint of approximately 5m x 1m (length x width) should be anticipated, including access for maintenance.
- Maintenance requirements
- Regular maintenance typically involves belt cleaning, tension adjustment, inspection of bearings, and ensuring the air knife nozzles are clear and functioning correctly.
- Hygiene features
- Common hygiene features include open frame designs for easy cleaning, quick-release belts, and IP-rated components suitable for washdown environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
- This type of conveyor is generally suitable for a wide range of solid food products, including fruits, vegetables, seafood, and some processed items, where surface moisture removal is required. The effectiveness depends on the product's shape and surface characteristics.
