Novacon Stainless conveyor

• Transporting unpackaged food items such as fruit, vegetables, or bakery products.
• Moving packaged goods between processing stages or to packaging lines.
• Integrating into automated production lines for precise product positioning.
• Use in washdown environments due to stainless steel construction.

Typical throughput

Variable speed conveyors of this type commonly handle throughputs dictated by belt width and product size, often ranging from hundreds to thousands of items per hour.

Power supply

Units in this class typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with power ratings for the motor often between 0.37kW and 1.5kW depending on length and load.

Footprint

The footprint varies significantly with belt length and width; for this class, lengths can range from 1 to 10 metres or more, with widths from 150mm to 1000mm.

Belt type

Intralox belts are modular plastic belts, known for their durability, ease of cleaning, and suitability for food contact applications.

Construction material

Stainless steel construction (typically 304 or 316 grade) is standard for food processing environments, ensuring hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Speed control

Variable speed drives are common, allowing operators to adjust belt speed to match production requirements, typically from 0 to 20 metres per minute.

• What are the benefits of an Intralox belt for food processing?

  Intralox belts are modular, making them easy to repair and clean. They offer good resistance to chemicals and temperature variations, and their open design aids in sanitation and drainage.

• Is this conveyor suitable for washdown environments?

• Can the belt speed be precisely controlled?

• What maintenance is typically required for this type of conveyor?

• What kind of products can this conveyor handle?

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.
