UPM Stainless conveyor

• Transporting food products within processing lines, such as baked goods, confectionery, or prepared meals.
• Moving packaged goods in pharmaceutical or cosmetic manufacturing environments.
• Handling bulk materials in chemical processing where hygiene and corrosion resistance are critical.
• Integrating into automated assembly lines for various industrial components.
• Transferring waste products or by-products in a clean and efficient manner.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on belt speed and material density; units of this type commonly handle hundreds to thousands of items or kilograms per hour.

Power supply

Typically 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz for industrial applications in the UK, though smaller units may use 230V, 1-phase.

Belt material

Commonly food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic, selected based on application and hygiene requirements.

Frame material

For this unit, the frame is stainless steel, indicating suitability for hygienic or corrosive environments.

Footprint

The stated belt dimensions are 2000mm x 1500mm; the overall footprint will be slightly larger to accommodate the motor and frame.

Speed control

Many conveyors in this class feature variable speed drives for operational flexibility.

Hygiene features

Stainless steel construction and raised side guides are indicative of design for easy cleaning and preventing product spillage.

• What type of motor is typically used?

  Conveyors of this size commonly utilise geared motors, often with an IP (Ingress Protection) rating suitable for the operating environment, such as IP65 for washdown areas.

• Are spare parts readily available for unknown manufacturers?

• How is the belt tension adjusted on these units?

• What are the common maintenance requirements?

• Can this conveyor be integrated 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.
