Dorner - Dorner conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Transporting packaged food items between processing stages.
• Moving raw ingredients such as fruits, vegetables, or baked goods within a production line.
• Accumulating products for packaging or further processing.
• Integrating with other machinery like weighers, fillers, or inspection systems.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

Variable, commonly ranging from a few metres per minute up to 30 metres per minute, depending on motor and control configuration.

Power supply

Typically single-phase (230V) or three-phase (400V) AC supply, often with variable frequency drives for speed control.

Belt material

Commonly food-grade polyurethane (PU) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) for general food handling, or modular plastic for washdown environments.

Frame material

Typically aluminium or stainless steel, with stainless steel preferred for hygiene-critical food processing applications.

Operating temperature

Generally suitable for ambient food processing temperatures, typically 0°C to 40°C.

Maintenance requirements

Routine belt tension checks, cleaning, and lubrication of bearings are typically required to ensure optimal performance.
