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 areas.
• Handling waste products or by-products within a food processing facility.
• Integrating into automated systems for sorting, weighing, or inspection of food products.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment commonly ranges from hundreds of kilograms to several tonnes per hour, depending on belt width and speed.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on standard industrial voltages, commonly 400V three-phase, though smaller units may use 230V single-phase.

Belt material

Belts are commonly made from food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic, selected for hygiene and resistance to specific food products.

Frame material

Frames are typically constructed from stainless steel for food contact areas and washdown environments, or painted mild steel for less stringent applications.

Speed control

Many conveyors for food processing feature variable speed drives to allow adjustment for different products and processes.

Cleaning access

Designs often incorporate features for easy cleaning and sanitation, such as quick-release belts or open frame construction.
