Arnott Stainless conveyor

• Transporting packaged food items between processing stages.
• Moving raw ingredients such as vegetables or fruits for sorting or washing.
• Conveying baked goods or confectionery for cooling or packaging.
• Transferring dairy products like cheese blocks or yogurt pots within a facility.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly based on product size and belt speed, typically ranging from hundreds to several thousand items per hour.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on standard industrial single-phase or three-phase power, typically 230V or 400V, 50Hz.

Belt material

This unit features a slat band conveyor, commonly made from food-grade plastic (e.g., acetal) or stainless steel, suitable for washdown environments.

Construction material

The frame and supporting structures are typically constructed from stainless steel, ensuring hygiene and corrosion resistance in food processing environments.

Footprint

While specific dimensions vary, conveyors of this type are designed to integrate into existing lines, with belt widths commonly ranging from 100mm to over 1000mm and lengths from 1m to many metres.

Speed control

Many units are equipped with variable speed drives, allowing operators to adjust the conveyor speed to match production requirements.

• What maintenance is typically required for a stainless steel slat band conveyor?

  Routine maintenance typically involves cleaning, checking belt tension and alignment, lubricating bearings, and inspecting for wear on slats or drive components. Regular cleaning is crucial for hygiene.

• Can this type of conveyor handle different product sizes?

• Is this conveyor suitable for wet environments?

• What are the common benefits of a slat band conveyor over a modular belt conveyor?

• What safety features are commonly found on these 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.
