stainless two tier conveyor

• Transporting products between different processing stages in food and beverage manufacturing.
• Handling packaged goods or components in pharmaceutical and cosmetic production.
• Moving items between workstations or packaging lines in general industrial settings.
• Sorting and accumulating products in logistics and distribution centres.
• Facilitating ergonomic material transfer in assembly operations.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly based on product size and weight, but often ranges from 500 to 2000 units per hour.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a 400V, 3-phase electrical supply, though 230V 1-phase options are also found for lighter duty applications.

Footprint

The overall length of the unit is 4100mm, with the top belt being 4700mm. The width of the lower roller conveyor is 300mm, and the top PVC belt is 400mm. Buyers should consider the total space required for operation and access.

Materials of construction

This unit features a stainless steel frame, which is typical for hygiene-sensitive environments. The top conveyor uses a PVC belt, common for general purpose conveying.

Maintenance requirements

Routine maintenance typically involves checking belt tension, lubrication of bearings, and cleaning of surfaces, particularly in food-grade applications.

Conveyor type

This unit combines a lower driven roller conveyor with an upper PVC belt conveyor, offering versatility for different product types.

• What kind of products are suitable for a two-tier conveyor?

  Two-tier conveyors are suitable for a wide range of products, allowing for simultaneous transport of different items or different stages of a single product. The driven rollers are good for flat-bottomed items, while the PVC belt is versatile for many product shapes.

• Can the speed of each conveyor tier be controlled independently?

• Is this unit suitable for washdown environments?

• What are the common wear parts on a conveyor of this design?

• Can the height of the tiers be adjusted?

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.
