ENE Two Tier Conveyor

• Transporting packaged goods between processing stages in bakeries or ready-meal facilities.
• Moving raw ingredients or semi-finished products in a multi-stage food production line.
• Facilitating cooling or drying processes where products need to be spread across multiple levels.
• Optimising floor space in food processing plants by utilising vertical conveying.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on product size and belt speed, commonly ranging from 500 kg/hr to 2000 kg/hr for this class of equipment.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Construction material

Food-grade stainless steel is standard for hygiene and durability in food processing environments.

Belt material

Typically food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic belts, chosen based on product characteristics and temperature.

Footprint

For a unit with a 1500mm length, the footprint would be approximately 1.5m x 0.5m, plus motor housing, offering efficient use of space due to its two-tier design.

Speed control

Many units are equipped with variable speed drives for flexible integration into production lines.

• What are the benefits of a two-tier conveyor system?

  Two-tier systems maximise vertical space, allowing for two independent product flows or processing stages within a smaller footprint. This can improve line efficiency and reduce floor space requirements.

• Is this conveyor suitable for washdown environments?

• Can the speed of each tier be controlled independently?

• What kind of products are best suited for this conveyor?

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

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.
