Unitech Feed conveyor

• Transferring bulk materials from ground level to processing machinery or packaging lines.
• Feeding product into weighers, multi-head weighers, or other dosing equipment.
• Elevating ingredients within food processing plants, such as vegetables, fruits, or confectionery.
• Moving small components or products between different stages of an assembly or inspection line.

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from 500 kg/hr to 3000 kg/hr, depending on product density and belt speed.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, a 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz electrical supply is typically required, with a motor rating often between 0.37 kW and 1.5 kW.

Belt width

Belt widths typically vary from 300mm to 600mm, influencing the volume and size of product that can be conveyed.

Incline angle

The incline angle is commonly adjustable or fixed between 30 and 45 degrees, suitable for elevating various products without rollback.

Construction material

Units are typically constructed from stainless steel (grade 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability, particularly in food processing environments.

Footprint

The overall footprint will depend on the length and height of the conveyor, but typically requires a floor area of 2m x 1m up to 5m x 1.5m.

• What type of products can this conveyor handle?

  Incline feed conveyors are suitable for a wide range of free-flowing and semi-free-flowing products, including granular materials, small components, and certain food items like vegetables or confectionery.

• Is variable speed control typically included?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used unit?

• Can this conveyor be integrated with existing production lines?

• What are the common safety features on such conveyors?

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.
