Long Conveyor 9.5m

• Transporting products along a production line in food processing.
• Moving packaged goods between different stages of manufacturing.
• Accumulating items for subsequent processing or packaging.
• Facilitating product cooling or drying processes within a controlled environment.

Typical length

This unit is approximately 9.5m; conveyors of this type commonly range from 1m to over 20m.

Number of tiers

This unit features 3 tiers; multi-tier conveyors are used for space optimisation or process staging.

Belt material

Typically, food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic belts are used for hygiene and durability in food applications.

Frame material

Commonly stainless steel for food processing environments to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Power supply

Units of this class typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Speed control

Variable speed drives are commonly found on units of this type, allowing for process optimisation.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, the footprint is primarily determined by its length and width, plus any motor housing.

• Can the conveyor speed be adjusted?

  Most industrial conveyors, especially those used in production lines, are equipped with variable speed controls to match production requirements. Buyers should confirm this with the seller.

• What kind of products can this conveyor handle?

• Is this conveyor suitable for washdown environments?

• What are the benefits of a multi-tier conveyor system?

• What maintenance is typically required for a conveyor of this type?

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.
