Stainless conveyor

• Transporting food products within processing lines, such as baked goods, vegetables, or packaged items.
• Moving pharmaceutical products or components in cleanroom environments.
• Handling small to medium-sized components in light manufacturing or assembly operations.
• Transferring waste or by-products in food processing or recycling facilities.
• Integrating into packaging lines for product accumulation or transfer to subsequent machinery.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly based on belt speed and product density, typically handling light to medium loads.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, a standard 230V single-phase or 400V three-phase electrical supply is typically required, depending on motor size.

Belt material

Units of this type commonly feature food-grade rubberised or PVC belts, suitable for various product handling needs.

Frame material

As indicated, the stainless steel frame is typical for hygiene-critical environments, offering corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning.

Speed control

Many conveyors in this category are equipped with variable speed drives, allowing for adjustment of belt speed to match production requirements.

Footprint

The dimensions provided (1700mm x 340mm belt) indicate a relatively compact unit, suitable for integration into existing lines or areas with limited space.

• Is this conveyor suitable for washdown environments?

  A stainless steel frame is generally suitable for washdown. However, buyers should confirm the motor and electrical components' IP rating for specific washdown suitability.

• Can the belt speed be adjusted?

• What type of products can this belt handle?

• Are spare parts readily available for unknown manufacturer conveyors?

• What is the typical lifespan of a conveyor belt?

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.
