Unitech 180 degree conveyor

• Transporting products around corners in food processing lines.
• Integrating with other machinery for continuous production flow.
• Cooling or drying products on a mesh belt while changing direction.
• Accumulating products at a transfer point between two lines.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on product type and line speed; units of this class are designed for continuous flow.

Power supply

Commonly 3-phase industrial power, typically 400V, 50Hz in the UK, as indicated for this unit.

Belt width

For this unit, 400mm; commonly ranges from 200mm to 1000mm for similar equipment.

Construction material

Stainless steel is standard for food processing environments, offering hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Footprint

Overall length of 4100mm for this unit; 180-degree conveyors require a significant curved area.

Mobility

Units of this type can be mobile, as described for this listing, or fixed in place depending on operational needs.

Belt type

Mesh belts are common for applications requiring drainage, ventilation, or cooling.

• What products are suitable for a mesh belt conveyor?

  Mesh belts are ideal for products that require air circulation, drainage, or cooling, and for items that are not prone to falling through the mesh openings.

• Can the speed of the conveyor be adjusted?

• What maintenance is typically required for this type of conveyor?

• Is this conveyor suitable for washdown environments?

• 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.
