• Feeding packaging lines with prepared food items.
• Handling waste products or by-products in food manufacturing facilities.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly based on belt speed and material density, typically ranging from several hundred kilograms to a few tonnes per hour.

Power supply

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

Construction material

Stainless steel construction is standard for food-grade trough conveyors, ensuring hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Belt material

Belts are typically food-grade PVC, PU, or rubber, selected for durability and ease of cleaning.

Adjustability

Conveyor height and angle are often adjustable on units of this type, offering flexibility in line integration.

Footprint

The overall footprint will be dictated by the belt length and width, plus any motor housing. Buyers should confirm exact dimensions with the seller.
