Kiggen Stainless conveyor

• Moving raw ingredients or finished products between processing stages in food manufacturing.
• Transferring packaged goods for inspection, labelling, or further packaging.
• Integrating with weighing, sorting, or filling machinery in a production line.
• Handling waste products or by-products within a food processing facility.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on belt speed, product type, and line integration, but units of this size can handle continuous material flow.

Power supply

Commonly 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz for industrial motors, though smaller units may be 230V, 1-phase.

Motor power

For this class of equipment, motor power typically ranges from 0.18 kW to 1.5 kW, depending on load and belt length.

Belt material suitability

PVC belts are generally suitable for a wide range of food products, offering good chemical resistance and ease of cleaning.

Frame material

Stainless steel frames are standard for food processing environments due to their corrosion resistance and hygienic properties.

Typical footprint

Conveyors are modular, but a unit with a 1500mm x 450mm belt will have an overall length slightly greater than 1500mm and width greater than 450mm due to the frame.

Maintenance requirements

Regular cleaning, belt tension checks, and motor/gearbox lubrication are typically required for optimal operation.

• What types of products can this conveyor handle?

  A PVC belt with stainless steel construction is suitable for a wide range of unpackaged and packaged food items, including fruits, vegetables, baked goods, and confectionery, provided they are not excessively hot or abrasive.

• Is this conveyor suitable for washdown environments?

• Can the belt speed be adjusted?

• What are the typical safety features?

• What is the expected lifespan of a PVC conveyor belt?

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.
