NNP Stainless Flighted Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Transferring bulk food items between processing stages, such as from a mixer to a packaging machine.
• Elevating products to different heights for gravity feeding or ergonomic handling.
• Moving ingredients or finished products through washing, drying, or cooling tunnels.
• Sorting and inspecting food items on a continuous production line.
• Accumulating products before further processing or packaging.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from several hundred kilograms to a few tonnes per hour, depending on product density and belt speed.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, which is standard for industrial applications in the UK.

Belt material

Flighted belts for food applications are typically made from food-grade materials such as polyurethane (PU) or PVC, chosen for durability and hygiene.

Construction material

The frame and contact parts are commonly constructed from 304 or 316 grade stainless steel, suitable for washdown environments and corrosion resistance in food processing.

Mobility

Many conveyors in this category are designed to be mobile, often fitted with castors, allowing for flexible placement and easy cleaning access.

Cleaning access

Units commonly feature designs that facilitate easy cleaning, such as open frames and quick-release belt tensioning mechanisms.
