Cobra - Crate Chain Conveyor

• Moving crates of produce or packaged goods between different processing stages.
• Transporting empty crates for washing or refilling operations.
• Integrating into automated packing lines for continuous material flow.
• Transferring goods between floor levels or over short distances in a factory.
• Used in food processing, logistics, and general manufacturing environments.

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from 100 to 500 crates per hour, depending on crate size and conveyor speed.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, a 3-phase electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) is typically required for the motor.

Conveyor chain material

Chains are typically made from robust engineering plastic or stainless steel, suitable for washdown environments.

Incline angle

Incline crate chain conveyors typically feature an adjustable or fixed incline angle, commonly between 15 and 30 degrees, to elevate products.

Typical footprint

For this class of equipment, the footprint will vary significantly based on length and width, but typically requires several metres in length and approximately 0.5 to 1.5 metres in width.

Frame construction

Frames are commonly constructed from stainless steel or painted mild steel, depending on the intended operating environment.

• What types of crates can this conveyor handle?

  This type of conveyor is generally designed to handle standard plastic or wooden crates, often with specific dimensions that fit the chain width and guide rails. Buyers should confirm compatibility with their specific crate sizes.

• Is this conveyor suitable for washdown environments?

• What maintenance is typically required for a crate chain conveyor?

• Can the speed of the conveyor be adjusted?

• Are spare parts readily available for unknown manufacturer equipment?

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.
