Unknown - Inspection Conveyor

• Sorting and quality control of fresh produce such as fruits and vegetables.
• Visual inspection of baked goods for defects or foreign objects.
• Checking packaged items for label accuracy and seal integrity.
• Manual removal of substandard products in food processing lines.
• Quality assurance in pharmaceutical and cosmetic manufacturing.

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from 500 kg/hr to 3000 kg/hr, depending on belt width and product density.

Power supply

Commonly, units of this type operate on a 3-phase, 400V, 50Hz electrical supply, though single-phase options may be available for smaller models.

Belt material

Typically, food-grade PVC or PU belting is used, suitable for direct contact with food products and easy cleaning.

Working width

Inspection conveyors commonly feature belt widths between 400mm and 1200mm, allowing for various product sizes and operator access.

Construction material

Frames are typically constructed from stainless steel (grade 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance in food environments.

Speed control

Variable speed drives are commonly integrated, allowing operators to adjust belt speed to suit inspection requirements.
