Stainless 90 degree slat band conveyor

• Transporting packaged goods or individual items around corners in food processing lines.
• Moving components between workstations in light manufacturing or assembly operations.
• Integrating into automated packaging systems for product redirection.
• Handling pharmaceutical products requiring hygienic transfer paths.
• Conveying items in warehousing and logistics for sorting or accumulation.

Typical belt width

For this class of equipment, slat widths commonly range from 100mm to 300mm, with this unit featuring 200mm plastic slats.

Conveyor material

Units of this type typically feature stainless steel frames for hygiene and durability, suitable for washdown environments.

Slat material

Commonly, slats are made from food-grade plastic (e.g., acetal, polypropylene) for resistance to wear and chemicals.

Bend angle

As indicated, this unit features a 90-degree bend, a common configuration for changing product direction on a line.

Drive type

Typically, these conveyors are driven by an electric motor, often geared for controlled speed.

Power supply

Commonly requires a standard industrial electrical supply, such as 3-phase 400V or single-phase 230V, depending on motor size.

Typical throughput

Throughput capacity is highly variable, depending on belt speed, item size, and weight, but generally suitable for continuous flow applications.

• What are the advantages of a slat band conveyor over a modular belt conveyor?

  Slat band conveyors often provide a flatter, more stable surface for products, particularly useful for items that might tip on a modular belt. They are also known for their durability and ease of cleaning in certain applications.

• Is this conveyor suitable for washdown environments?

• Can the speed of the conveyor be adjusted?

• What kind of products can this conveyor handle?

• What maintenance is typically required for a slat band conveyor?

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.
