Arnott 90 degree conveyor

• Changing the direction of product flow on a processing line.
• Integrating different stages of food processing or packaging.
• Optimising floor space in production facilities by navigating corners.
• Transferring products between different heights or machinery.

Typical throughput

Variable, depending on product size and conveyor speed, commonly ranging from a few hundred to several thousand items per hour for this class of equipment.

Power supply

Typically 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK, for industrial applications.

Construction material

Units of this type are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability in food processing environments.

Belt/Chain type

Commonly features slat chain or modular belt systems, suitable for various food products.

Speed control

Variable speed drives are commonly integrated for flexible operation and synchronisation with other equipment.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, the footprint is determined by the bend radius and leg lengths, designed to fit into existing line layouts.

• What types of products can this conveyor handle?

  This type of conveyor is generally suitable for a wide range of packaged or unpackaged food items, including trays, boxes, and individual products, depending on the specific slat or belt design.

• Is this conveyor suitable for washdown environments?

• Can the speed be adjusted to match my existing line?

• What maintenance is typically required for a conveyor of this type?

• Are spare parts readily available for Arnott 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.
