Packing Conveyor

• Used for manual or automated packing of food products into boxes, crates, or other containers.
• Often integrated into production lines for final product collation and dispatch preparation.
• Suitable for handling a variety of packaged food items, from confectionery to baked goods.
• Can be found in food processing plants, bakeries, and distribution centres for sorting and packing tasks.

Typical capacity

Varies significantly based on belt width and line speed, commonly designed for continuous flow of several hundred to several thousand items per hour.

Power supply

Typically 230V or 400V, 3-phase, requiring a standard industrial electrical connection.

Belt material

Commonly food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic belts, chosen for hygiene and durability.

Frame material

Often stainless steel for food contact areas and washdown environments, or painted mild steel for less stringent applications.

Footprint

Highly variable, depending on length and width; buyers should consider available floor space.

Speed control

Many units feature variable speed drives for adjusting throughput to match production requirements.
