Unitech - Conveyor Belt

Applications & Use Cases

• Moving raw ingredients, such as fruits, vegetables, or grains, between processing stages.
• Transporting packaged food items from production lines to packing or palletising stations.
• Handling waste products or by-products within a food processing facility.
• Integrating into automated systems for sorting, weighing, or inspection of food products.
• Transferring items through washing, drying, or cooling tunnels.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from a few hundred kilograms to several tonnes per hour, depending on belt width and speed.

Power supply

Commonly, units of this type operate on a 400V, 3-phase electrical supply, though smaller units may use 230V single-phase.

Belt material

Belts are typically made from food-grade materials such as PVC, PU, or modular plastic, selected for hygiene and resistance to oils or chemicals.

Frame material

The frame is commonly constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) for corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning in food environments.

Speed control

Many units feature variable speed drives, allowing for adjustment of belt speed to suit different product types and production rates.

Typical footprint

The footprint can vary significantly, with lengths typically ranging from 2 to 10 metres and widths from 300mm to 1200mm for this class of equipment.
