Conve - Second Hand Indexing Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Automated assembly lines requiring precise component placement.
• Packaging operations for accurate product indexing and filling.
• Food processing for controlled movement of items between stations.
• Pharmaceutical manufacturing for sequential processing of products.
• Quality control systems for presenting items to inspection points.

Typical Specifications

Typical indexing accuracy

Typically within ±0.1mm to ±0.5mm, depending on the drive system and application.

Power supply

Commonly 3-phase, 400V, 50Hz, with control voltage typically 24V DC.

Indexing speed

Varies significantly, but typically ranges from 10 to 60 indexes per minute for this class of equipment.

Conveyor belt material

For food-grade applications, often food-grade plastics (e.g., acetal, polypropylene) or specialised rubber compounds.

Frame material

Units for food processing are commonly constructed from 304 or 316 grade stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Typical footprint

Can range from 1.5m to 5m in length, and 0.5m to 1.5m in width, depending on the number of stations and product size.

Control system

Often features a PLC-based control system for programmable indexing and integration with other machinery.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is an indexing conveyor?

  An indexing conveyor is a type of conveyor system designed to move products in precise, intermittent steps rather than a continuous flow. It stops at specific points to allow for processing or assembly.

• What are the benefits of using an indexing conveyor?

• How is the index distance typically set?

• What maintenance is typically required for an indexing conveyor?

• Can this type of conveyor be integrated into an existing line?

• What safety features are commonly found on indexing conveyors?
