Unitech 180 degree conveyor

• Transporting products around corners in food processing lines.
• Integrating with other machinery to create a continuous production flow.
• Moving items between different stages of packaging or inspection.
• Facilitating product accumulation or buffering in a confined space.

Typical throughput

Variable, depending on belt speed and product characteristics; commonly designed for continuous operation.

Power supply

For this class of equipment, a 3-phase electrical supply is typical, often 400V.

Materials of construction

Units of this type, particularly for food processing, are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Belt type

Mesh belts are commonly used for applications requiring drainage, ventilation, or specific product handling.

Footprint

A 180-degree configuration is designed to minimise linear space requirements by turning products within a compact area.

Mobility

Many units in this category are designed to be mobile, offering flexibility in plant layout and cleaning.

• What types of products can this conveyor handle?

  Mesh conveyors are generally suitable for a wide range of products, especially those requiring drainage, cooling, or where a non-solid surface is beneficial. The specific product suitability depends on size, weight, and fragility.

• Is this unit suitable for washdown environments?

• Can the belt speed be adjusted?

• What maintenance is typically required?

• How does a 180-degree conveyor integrate into an existing line?

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.
