Filliviginito Conveyor

• Transporting packaged goods between processing stages.
• Moving raw ingredients or finished products within a food production line.
• Integrating with other machinery for automated filling, sealing, or labelling.
• Facilitating inspection or sorting processes on a production line.

Typical throughput

Variable speed conveyors of this type can typically handle throughput rates dependent on product size and weight, often ranging from hundreds to thousands of items per hour.

Power supply

Units in this class commonly operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz for industrial applications in the UK.

Footprint

While specific dimensions vary, conveyor systems for food handling are designed to integrate into existing lines, with belt lengths commonly ranging from 1.5m to over 10m and widths from 200mm to 1000mm.

Typical belt material

Belts are typically made from food-grade materials such as PVC, PU, or modular plastic, chosen for hygiene, durability, and resistance to oils or chemicals.

Construction material

For food processing environments, frames are commonly constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance, though painted mild steel is also found for less demanding applications.

Speed control

Variable speed functionality is standard, often achieved via an inverter drive, allowing for precise integration into diverse production processes.

• What maintenance is typically required for a used conveyor?

  Regular maintenance for used conveyors typically involves checking belt tension and alignment, lubricating bearings, inspecting the motor and gearbox, and ensuring all safety guards are in place and functional. Cleaning protocols are also crucial in food environments.

• Can this type of conveyor handle different product types?

• What are the considerations for integrating this into an existing line?

• Is this conveyor suitable for washdown environments?

• What safety features are commonly found on these units?

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.
