• Feeding multi-head weighers or other dosing equipment.
• Moving products out of washdown areas or into drying tunnels.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from 500 kg/hr to 5,000 kg/hr, depending on belt width and incline angle.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type is a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with a motor rating from 0.37 kW to 1.5 kW.

Belt material

Plastic modular belting is standard, offering good chemical resistance and ease of cleaning, suitable for food contact.

Incline angle

Units typically feature an adjustable or fixed incline angle, commonly between 20 and 45 degrees, often with flights or grip top belts to prevent product rollback.

Construction material

The frame is typically constructed from stainless steel (grade 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability in food environments.

Footprint

The overall footprint will vary significantly based on the desired elevation and length, but buyers should consider the horizontal length required for the incline.
