Trimming Line 6 station

• Processing lines for meat, poultry, and fish products requiring manual trimming.
• Fruit and vegetable preparation where sorting, trimming, and waste removal are necessary.
• Food manufacturing facilities needing sequential manual operations on a conveyor.
• Packaging lines where products require final inspection and minor adjustments before packing.

Typical throughput

Throughput for this class of equipment is highly dependent on product type and operator efficiency, typically ranging from 500 kg/hr to 2000 kg/hr for fish processing.

Power supply

Conveyor systems of this nature commonly operate on a 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz supply, with motor ratings typically between 0.75 kW and 2.2 kW per belt.

Footprint

A 6-station trimming line typically requires a footprint of approximately 4.5m to 6m in length and 1.2m to 1.8m in width, excluding operator access space.

Belt material

Belts are commonly made from food-grade PVC or polyurethane, suitable for wet environments and easy cleaning.

Water connection

Units often feature integrated water connections for product rinsing or waste fluming, typically requiring a standard industrial water supply.

Maintenance requirements

Regular maintenance involves belt tensioning, motor checks, and thorough cleaning, particularly in food processing environments.

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.
