Twin Lane Conveyor

• Transporting products along parallel lines in packaging operations.
• Separating or combining product flows in automated assembly lines.
• Moving items through distinct processing stages on a single conveyor footprint.
• Facilitating manual inspection or rework stations with dedicated lanes.

Typical throughput

Variable, depending on belt speed and product size; commonly designed for high-volume continuous flow.

Power supply

Typically 230V or 400V 3-phase, with motor ratings commonly ranging from 0.18kW to 0.75kW per drive.

Conveyor belt material

Commonly PVC, PU, or modular plastic, selected based on application and product characteristics.

Frame material

Typically stainless steel for food or pharmaceutical applications, or mild steel (painted/powder-coated) for general industrial use.

Lane width

For this class of equipment, individual lane widths are typically between 100mm and 600mm, adjustable on some models.

Speed control

Often equipped with variable speed drives (VSDs) for precise control over product flow.

• What are the advantages of a twin-lane conveyor over a single-lane unit?

  Twin-lane conveyors allow for simultaneous processing of two product streams, increasing throughput or enabling parallel operations like sorting, merging, or diverting without requiring additional floor space for separate conveyors.

• Can the lanes operate at different speeds?

• What kind of products are suitable for a twin-lane conveyor?

• Is this unit suitable for food processing environments?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used conveyor?

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.
