UPM Stainless conveyor

• Transporting raw ingredients or finished products within a food processing line.
• Moving packaged goods between different stages of production or packaging.
• Integrating with other processing machinery for automated product transfer.
• Handling delicate food items with minimal damage due to smooth belt operation.
• Facilitating inspection or sorting processes by presenting products at an ergonomic height.

Typical throughput

Variable, depending on belt speed and product density; commonly several hundred to a few thousand items or kilograms per hour for this class of equipment.

Power supply

Typically 230V single-phase or 400V three-phase, 50Hz, commonly found on units of this type.

Motor power

Often in the range of 0.37 kW to 1.5 kW, depending on belt length, width, and intended load.

Frame material

Stainless steel, as described, is standard for food processing environments.

Belt material

Typically food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic, selected for hygiene and durability.

Operating speed

Often adjustable, with typical speeds ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 metres per second.

Hygiene standards

Units of this type are generally designed to meet food industry hygiene standards, facilitating washdown.

• What type of products can this conveyor handle?

  Stainless steel conveyors with raised side guides are suitable for a wide range of food products, including bulk items, packaged goods, and products requiring containment during transit.

• Is this conveyor suitable for wet environments?

• Can the belt speed be adjusted?

• What maintenance is typically required for a conveyor like this?

• Are spare parts readily available for unknown manufacturer 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.
