Large S Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Moving bulk food products between different processing stages, such as from a mixer to a packaging machine.
• Elevating ingredients or finished goods over other equipment or to different floor levels.
• Creating a continuous flow in production lines for items like baked goods, confectionery, or fresh produce.
• Integrating with washing, drying, or cooling tunnels for product treatment.
• Accumulating products temporarily before further processing or packing.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly, typically ranging from hundreds of kilograms to several tonnes per hour, depending on product density and belt speed.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, a 3-phase industrial power supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) is typically required for the motor.

Conveyor belt material

Typically food-grade materials such as PVC, PU, or modular plastic belting are used, selected for hygiene and durability.

Frame material

Often constructed from stainless steel for hygiene, corrosion resistance, and ease of cleaning in food processing environments.

Footprint

The 'S' shape implies a compact design for elevation within a smaller area, but overall length and height will vary significantly by specific unit.

Maintenance requirements

Regular cleaning, belt tension checks, and lubrication of bearings are typically required to ensure optimal performance and hygiene.
