• Used in facilities producing convenience foods, ready meals, and snack items.

Typical Specifications

Typical belt width

For this class of equipment, belt widths commonly range from 400mm to 1000mm, with 400mm being suitable for smaller to medium-scale operations.

Construction material

Units of this type are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability, essential in food processing environments.

Predust application method

Commonly features a bottom bed of predust with a top shower of predust, often combined with a blower to remove excess.

Power supply

Typically requires a three-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with specific amperage depending on motor sizes for the belt and blower.

Throughput

Throughput capacity is highly variable, depending on product type, belt speed, and width, but units of this size are suitable for continuous processing lines.

Footprint

The footprint for a 400mm wide preduster is relatively compact, making it suitable for integration into existing lines where space may be a consideration.
