NNP 180 degree conveyor

• Changing product direction on processing lines, such as after a cooking or cooling stage.
• Integrating different conveyor lines, allowing for compact layouts in food production facilities.
• Accumulating products temporarily before packaging or further processing.
• Orienting products for specific tasks like inspection or labelling.
• Transferring products around obstacles or corners within a production area.

Typical belt width

For this class of equipment, belt widths commonly range from 100mm to 600mm, with 150mm being a common size for smaller products.

Construction material

Units of this type typically feature stainless steel frames and components, suitable for hygienic environments.

Belt material

Intralox or similar modular plastic belts are commonly used, offering durability and ease of cleaning.

Power supply

Three-phase power (3Ph) is standard for industrial conveyors, typically 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Operating speed

Variable speed drives are commonly found, allowing adjustment to match line throughput requirements.

Hygiene standards

Designed for food contact, these conveyors typically meet general food industry hygiene standards, facilitating washdown.

• What are the benefits of a 180-degree conveyor?

  A 180-degree conveyor allows for significant changes in product direction within a compact footprint, optimising floor space and line layout. It can facilitate product reorientation or integration of parallel lines.

• What kind of products are suitable for a 150mm wide belt?

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.
