Christiaens Argo - Motorised Conveyor

• Moving ingredients or finished products between processing stages in bakeries and confectioneries.
• Transporting packaged goods within a food production facility prior to palletisation.
• Facilitating inspection or sorting processes for various food items.
• Integrating into automated production lines for continuous material flow.

Typical capacity

Varies significantly; for this class of equipment, throughput can range from a few kg/hour for small items to several tonnes/hour for bulk materials, depending on belt width and speed.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type operating on standard industrial voltages, typically 400V 3-phase, though smaller units may use 230V single-phase.

Belt material

Typically food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic belting, selected for hygiene and resistance to specific food products.

Speed control

Many motorised conveyors feature variable speed drives, allowing adjustment of throughput to match production requirements.

Frame construction

Commonly stainless steel for food contact areas and wash-down environments, or painted mild steel for less demanding applications.

Footprint

Highly variable; typically determined by the required length and width for the application, with motor and drive components adding to the overall dimensions.

• What types of products can this conveyor handle?

  Motorised conveyors are versatile and can handle a wide range of food products, from raw ingredients like vegetables and meat to packaged goods, depending on the belt type and design.

• Is this conveyor suitable for wash-down environments?

• Can the speed be adjusted?

• What maintenance is typically required?

• What safety features should I look for?

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.
