STC Food Solutions - Used STC Food Solutions Rotary Table

• Used for accumulating products at the end of a production line, allowing for manual packing or further automated processing.
• Often integrated into packaging lines to present products for labelling, coding, or inspection.
• Can be used as a buffer zone to manage intermittent product flow between different stages of a manufacturing process.
• Suitable for sorting and orienting small to medium-sized food products before packaging.

Typical table diameter

Commonly ranges from 600mm to 1200mm for this class of equipment, depending on throughput requirements.

Power supply

Typically requires a standard single-phase (230V, 50Hz) or three-phase (400V, 50Hz) electrical supply.

Construction material

Often constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 grade) for food contact areas and hygiene, with a robust frame.

Typical speed control

Units commonly feature variable speed control via an inverter drive to match line requirements.

Footprint

The footprint is largely dictated by the table diameter, plus any motor housing or control panel.

Edge type

May feature a raised edge or guide rails to prevent products from falling off the table.

• What types of products are suitable for a rotary table?

  Rotary tables are generally suitable for stable, non-fragile products such as bottles, jars, pouches, cartons, and various packaged or individual food items that can accumulate without damage.

• How does a rotary table integrate into an existing line?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used rotary table?

• Can the speed of the table be adjusted?

• Are spare parts readily available for STC Food Solutions equipment?

Rotary tables and indexing systems are valued for their durability and precision in automating production workflows. Buyers typically seek robust construction and smooth operational performance when selecting used models. Industry sentiment favours equipment with well-documented maintenance histories and minimal wear on indexing mechanisms. Common strengths include reliable repeatability, adaptability to various food handling applications, and long operational lifespans. When purchasing used units, attention to gear condition, bearing integrity, and control system compatibility proves important for successful integration.
