Sleeving Belt Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Used for the automated application of sleeves or labels to products within a production line.
• Commonly integrated into packaging lines for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical products.
• Suitable for handling various product shapes and sizes requiring consistent sleeve placement.
• Often found in facilities requiring high-speed and accurate product identification or branding.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

Typically designed for medium to high-speed operations, often processing hundreds of units per minute depending on product size and sleeve complexity.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with specific amperage requirements varying by motor size and ancillary equipment.

Conveyor belt material

Belts are typically made from food-grade materials such as PVC, PU, or modular plastic, chosen for durability and hygiene.

Product size range

For this class of equipment, units are generally adjustable to accommodate a range of product diameters and heights, often from small bottles to larger containers.

Integration

Designed for seamless integration with upstream filling or processing equipment and downstream shrink tunnels or packaging machinery.

Footprint

The overall footprint can vary significantly, but typically requires several metres in length within a production line, plus space for maintenance access.
