Aweta - Infeed Roller Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Transporting produce from a bulk supply point to a processing line.
• Feeding sorting, washing, or grading machinery with a controlled flow of items.
• Integrating into automated processing lines for fruits and vegetables.
• Handling delicate items like peppers, apples, and tomatoes without damage.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can range from several hundred kilograms to multiple tonnes per hour, depending on belt width and speed.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, a 400V, 3-phase electrical supply is typical, often with a low-power motor (e.g., 0.37 kW to 1.5 kW).

Belt material

Belts are typically food-grade PVC or PU, suitable for direct contact with fresh produce and easy to clean.

Incline angle

Incline roller conveyors commonly feature adjustable or fixed angles, typically between 10 and 30 degrees, to elevate products efficiently.

Footprint

Dimensions vary significantly; however, for an infeed unit, lengths typically range from 2 to 6 metres, with widths from 0.5 to 1.5 metres.

Frame material

Frames are generally constructed from stainless steel or painted mild steel, offering durability and hygiene for food processing environments.
