Rotary Table

Applications & Use Cases

• Used for accumulating products at the end of a production line, allowing for manual packing or further processing.
• Ideal for buffering products between different stages of a food processing operation, preventing line stoppages.
• Commonly employed for sorting or inspection tasks, providing operators with easy access to items.
• Suitable for presenting products for automated pick-and-place systems or robotic handling.
• Utilised in bakeries, confectioneries, and ready-meal facilities for efficient product flow.

Typical Specifications

Typical diameter

Rotary tables commonly range from 800mm to 1800mm in diameter, depending on throughput requirements and available space.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a standard industrial 3-phase electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) or sometimes single-phase for smaller models.

Construction material

For food processing applications, rotary tables are commonly constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Typical speed range

The rotational speed is typically adjustable, often ranging from 1 to 10 revolutions per minute, to suit different product types and line speeds.

Height adjustment

Many rotary tables feature adjustable leg heights, allowing them to be integrated seamlessly with existing conveyor systems or processing lines.

Load capacity

For this class of equipment, the load capacity typically ranges from 50kg to 200kg of accumulated product, depending on the table's size and motor.
