Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from 500 kg/hour to 2,000 kg/hour, depending on product type and line speed.

Conveyor belt material

Commonly, food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic belts are used for hygiene and durability.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a standard 3-phase industrial supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz.

Footprint

The footprint can vary significantly, but a basic sorting line with integrated racking might require a minimum area of 3m x 1.5m.

Crate racking capacity

Integrated racking commonly accommodates standard Euro crates or similar, with capacity for multiple stacks.

Construction material

Frame and structural components are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance in food environments.
