Applications & Use Cases

• Transporting packaged food items between processing stages.
• Moving raw ingredients or bulk materials within a food production line.
• Facilitating product inspection and sorting processes.
• Connecting different pieces of food processing machinery.

Typical Specifications

Typical belt width

For this class of equipment, belt widths commonly range from 200mm to 600mm, depending on the product being conveyed.

Typical length

Conveyors of this type can vary significantly in length, from short transfer units of 1-2 metres to longer lines exceeding 10 metres.

Power supply

Electric conveyors typically operate on standard industrial single-phase (230V) or three-phase (400V) power, commonly 50Hz in the UK.

Belt material

Commonly, belts are made from food-grade materials such as PVC, PU, or modular plastic, selected for hygiene and durability.

Frame material

Frames are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance in food environments, or sometimes painted mild steel for less demanding applications.

Speed control

Many electric conveyors feature variable speed drives, allowing for adjustment of throughput to match production requirements.
