Fenner - Wire Rack Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Cooling freshly baked goods such as bread, pastries, or biscuits post-oven.
• Allowing products to air dry or set, common for confectionery or coated items.
• Transporting items through a controlled environment for temperature reduction.
• Integrating into automated production lines where products require a cooling phase before further processing or packaging.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Throughput is highly variable, depending on belt speed, product size, and cooling requirements. For this class of equipment, it typically handles continuous product flow.

Power supply

Conveyor motors commonly operate on 400V 3-phase industrial power, though smaller units may use 230V single-phase.

Belt material

The wire rack belt is typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Cooling method

This unit primarily uses ambient air cooling, with the open wire design maximising airflow around products.

Footprint

Dimensions vary significantly based on required cooling time and line integration. Buyers should consider available floor space and ceiling height.

Guide rails

Guide rails are commonly adjustable to accommodate varying product widths and ensure product containment during transit.

Maintenance requirements

Routine maintenance typically involves belt cleaning, tension checks, and lubrication of moving parts, in line with standard conveyor practices.
