Ross Industries Stainless conveyor

• Transporting food products between processing stages, such as dicing, mixing, or packaging.
• Moving raw ingredients or finished goods within a food production facility.
• Integrating into automated production lines for continuous material flow.
• Used in hygiene-critical environments for handling unpackaged food items.

Typical throughput

Variable, depending on belt speed and product density; commonly designed for continuous flow.

Power supply

This unit is listed as 1-phase; for this class of equipment, 3-phase options are also common, typically 230V or 400V.

Belt material

For food processing, belts are typically made from food-grade plastics (e.g., polyurethane, PVC) or stainless steel mesh.

Frame material

Stainless steel construction is standard for food processing conveyors to meet hygiene requirements and resist corrosion.

Mobility

Many units of this type are mobile, often fitted with castors for flexible placement within a facility.

Speed control

Variable speed drives are commonly found on units of this type, allowing adjustment for different product types and processing rates.

• What maintenance is typically required for a stainless steel conveyor?

  Regular cleaning and sanitisation are essential. Routine checks of the belt tension, motor, bearings, and electrical connections are also recommended to ensure operational reliability.

• Can this conveyor handle different types of food products?

• What are the benefits of a variable speed conveyor?

• Is this type of conveyor suitable for washdown environments?

• How do I determine if the belt dimensions are suitable for my operation?

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.
