PEC Stainless conveyor

• Transporting raw ingredients such as vegetables, fruits, or meat cuts between processing stages.
• Moving packaged food products, cartons, or containers along a production line.
• Facilitating the transfer of bulk dry goods like grains, nuts, or confectionery.
• Integrating into washing, drying, or inspection lines for continuous product flow.

Typical throughput

Throughput for this class of conveyor is highly variable, depending on product density and belt speed, but can range from hundreds of kilograms to several tonnes per hour.

Power supply

Conveyors of this type commonly operate on a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, for robust and continuous operation.

Belt material

Intralox belts are typically modular plastic, known for their durability, ease of cleaning, and resistance to various food processing environments.

Frame material

For food processing applications, frames are almost exclusively stainless steel, offering corrosion resistance and meeting hygiene standards.

Footprint

The footprint varies significantly, but units with a belt width of 800mm and length of 1750mm are considered compact to medium-sized for general food handling.

Maintenance requirements

Maintenance typically involves regular cleaning, inspection of the belt for wear or damage, and checking motor and bearing lubrication.

• What are the benefits of an Intralox belt?

  Intralox belts are modular, making them easy to repair or replace sections. They offer good chemical resistance and are designed for hygienic applications, often featuring open designs for effective cleaning.

• Is this conveyor suitable for wet environments?

• Can the belt speed be adjusted?

• What kind of products can this conveyor handle?

• Are spare parts readily available for Intralox belts?

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.
