Stainless conveyor

• Transporting packaged goods or individual items in food processing lines.
• Moving components through assembly or inspection stages in manufacturing.
• Handling pharmaceutical products requiring hygienic transfer.
• Integrating into automated packaging systems for product flow.

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of slat conveyor typically ranges from light to medium duty, depending on motorisation and slat strength.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on single-phase (1Ph) or three-phase (3Ph) electrical supplies, with variable speed drives often requiring specific inverter compatibility.

Construction material

As a 'Stainless conveyor', the primary contact parts and frame are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel, suitable for washdown environments.

Belt type

This unit specifies a 'slat chain belt', which typically comprises individual stainless steel or plastic slats linked together, offering a robust and positive drive surface.

Speed control

Variable speed functionality is commonly found on units of this type, allowing for integration into diverse production speeds.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, the length and width are key dimensions, with the listed unit indicating a belt surface of 2000mm x 190mm.

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

  Slat conveyors typically offer a more robust and rigid conveying surface, suitable for heavier or irregularly shaped items, and are often easier to clean in specific applications due to the gaps between slats.

• Is this conveyor suitable for food contact applications?

• How is the variable speed controlled?

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

• Can the belt dimensions be altered?

Conveyor systems for food handling and storage are valued for their durability and reliability in demanding environments. Buyers typically prioritise systems with robust construction, stainless steel components for hygiene compliance, and straightforward maintenance requirements. When purchasing used equipment, inspectors should assess wear on belts and rollers, verify food-safety certifications, and confirm spare parts availability. These systems generally deliver consistent performance and longevity, making them popular investments in food processing facilities seeking cost-effective automation solutions.
