Conve - Ex-demo dewatering conveyor

• Dewatering washed fruits and vegetables prior to further processing or packaging.
• Removing excess moisture from blanched or cooked food products.
• Drying components in non-food industrial applications where surface moisture removal is critical.
• Facilitating the preparation of produce for freezing, drying, or modified atmosphere packaging.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on product type and moisture content, but units of this class commonly handle several tonnes per hour.

Power supply

Typically 3-phase industrial supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with specific motor ratings dependent on conveyor length and air knife power.

Conveyor belt material

Commonly food-grade modular plastic or stainless steel mesh, chosen for hygiene and durability.

Air knife configuration

Units of this type typically feature high-velocity air knives, often adjustable in height and angle for optimal dewatering.

Drip tray design

Integrated stainless steel drip trays are standard, designed for efficient collection and drainage of removed water.

Footprint

Length can vary from 2m to 6m or more, with widths typically between 0.5m and 1.5m, depending on capacity requirements.

Construction material

Primarily stainless steel for contact parts and framework, ensuring compliance with food safety standards and corrosion resistance.

• What types of products is this dewatering conveyor suitable for?

  This equipment is generally suitable for a wide range of produce, including leafy greens, cut vegetables, fruits, and other items requiring surface moisture removal. Suitability depends on product fragility and size.

• How effective are air knives at dewatering?

• What maintenance is typically required for a dewatering conveyor?

• Can the conveyor speed be adjusted?

• Is this unit suitable for continuous operation?

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.
