NNP Stainless flighted conveyor

• Transferring bulk food items between processing stages, such as from a mixer to a packaging machine.
• Elevating products to different heights for gravity feeding or ergonomic handling.
• Moving ingredients or finished products through washing, drying, or cooling tunnels.
• Sorting and inspecting food items on a continuous production line.
• Accumulating products before further processing or packaging.

Typical throughput

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from several hundred kilograms to a few tonnes per hour, depending on product density and belt speed.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, which is standard for industrial applications in the UK.

Belt material

Flighted belts for food applications are typically made from food-grade materials such as polyurethane (PU) or PVC, chosen for durability and hygiene.

Construction material

The frame and contact parts are commonly constructed from 304 or 316 grade stainless steel, suitable for washdown environments and corrosion resistance in food processing.

Mobility

Many conveyors in this category are designed to be mobile, often fitted with castors, allowing for flexible placement and easy cleaning access.

Cleaning access

Units commonly feature designs that facilitate easy cleaning, such as open frames and quick-release belt tensioning mechanisms.

• What are flighted conveyors used for?

  Flighted conveyors are primarily used to transport products up inclines without slippage, or to separate and meter products on a horizontal plane. The flights prevent product rollback.

• How do I determine the correct belt speed for my application?

• What maintenance is typically required for a stainless flighted conveyor?

• Can this type of conveyor handle wet products?

• Are spare parts readily available for unknown manufacturer 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.
