Slat Conveyor 2500mm x 120mm

• Transporting individual or packaged food items along a production line.
• Accumulating products at a specific point for further processing or packaging.
• Handling products that require stable support or specific orientation during movement.
• Integrating into automated systems for precise product positioning.
• Moving items through heating, cooling, or washing stages where open access is beneficial.

Typical throughput

Variable, depending on motor speed and product size; commonly designed for continuous flow.

Power supply

Typically 3-phase industrial supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz in the UK) for the motor and gearbox.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, the length is as stated (2500mm), with a working width of 120mm. Overall width will be slightly greater to accommodate the frame.

Construction material

Commonly stainless steel for food contact areas and frame, or food-grade plastics for slats, to meet hygiene standards.

Adjustability

Units of this type commonly feature height-adjustable legs for integration into existing lines and levelling.

Safety features

Emergency stops and guarding are typically present on industrial conveyors for operator safety.

• What type of products is a slat conveyor best suited for?

  Slat conveyors are ideal for products that require a stable, flat surface, such as cartons, trays, bottles, or items needing specific orientation. They are also suitable for products that might be too heavy or irregularly shaped for belt conveyors.

• Can this conveyor handle wet or oily products?

• Is the speed of the conveyor adjustable?

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

• What does 'holding / clamp device' refer to?

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.
