NNP Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Transporting raw ingredients between processing stages in bakeries and confectionery.
• Moving packaged goods from filling to sealing or labelling stations.
• Handling fresh produce such as fruits and vegetables for sorting or washing lines.
• Conveying bulk dry goods like grains, pulses, or snacks within a production facility.
• Integrating into automated lines for precise product positioning and transfer.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

Throughput for this class of conveyor is highly variable, depending on product density and belt speed, but commonly ranges from several hundred kilograms to a few tonnes per hour.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK, with motor power generally between 0.18kW and 1.5kW.

Footprint

Mobile conveyors like this offer flexibility in layout, with the operational footprint primarily determined by the belt dimensions and any associated support framework.

Belt material

Belts are typically made from food-grade materials such as PVC, PU, or modular plastic, selected based on the product being conveyed and hygiene requirements.

Speed control

Many conveyors in this category feature variable speed control, often via an inverter, allowing for adjustment to suit different production rates.

Hygiene standards

For food processing applications, units are typically designed for ease of cleaning, often incorporating smooth surfaces and minimal harborage points to meet industry hygiene standards.
