NNP Stainless conveyor

• Transporting raw ingredients or finished products within a food processing line.
• Moving packaged goods between different stages of production or packaging.
• Integrating with other processing machinery such as fillers, ovens, or chillers.
• Facilitating inspection and sorting processes for various food items.

Typical throughput

Variable, depending on belt speed and product density; commonly several hundred to a few thousand items per hour for this class of equipment.

Power supply

This unit is specified as 3-phase; typically 400V, 50Hz for industrial applications in the UK.

Construction material

Stainless steel frame and side guides, as specified, which is standard for food-grade environments due to hygiene requirements.

Belt type

Modular belt, commonly made from food-grade plastic (e.g., polypropylene or acetal), offering durability and ease of cleaning.

Footprint

For a belt of 2500mm x 230mm, the overall machine length would typically be around 2.5 to 2.7 metres, with a width slightly exceeding the belt width.

Hygiene standards

Units of this type are typically designed to meet general food hygiene standards, suitable for washdown environments.

• What are the advantages of a modular belt conveyor?

  Modular belts are durable, easy to clean, and simple to repair as individual modules can be replaced. They offer good resistance to chemicals and temperature variations common in food processing.

• Is this conveyor suitable for wet environments?

• Can the belt speed be adjusted?

• What kind of products can this conveyor handle?

• What maintenance is typically required for such a conveyor?

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.
