Unknown - Packing Conveyor

• Used for manual or automated packing of food products into cartons, trays, or bags.
• Integrated into production lines for assembly, inspection, and final packaging.
• Suitable for conveying products between processing stages and packaging stations.
• Often found in bakeries, confectioneries, ready-meal facilities, and fresh produce packing houses.

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from 500 to 5,000 units per hour, depending on product size and automation level.

Power supply

Commonly requires a standard industrial single-phase (230V) or three-phase (400V) electrical supply, typically 50Hz.

Conveyor belt material

Belts are typically food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic, selected for hygiene and durability.

Frame construction

Frames are commonly constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance in food environments, or sometimes painted mild steel for less demanding applications.

Speed control

Units of this type commonly feature variable speed control, often via an inverter drive, to match production requirements.

Working height

Typically designed for ergonomic working heights, often adjustable, to suit manual packing operations.

• What maintenance is typically required for a used packing conveyor?

  Routine maintenance typically involves cleaning, belt tension checks, lubrication of bearings, and inspection of motors and electrical components. Belts may require periodic replacement depending on wear.

• Can this conveyor be integrated into an existing production line?

• What are the common safety features on this type of equipment?

• Is this unit suitable for washdown environments?

• What kind of products can typically be handled by a packing conveyor?

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.
