Slat Conveyor 2500mm x 120mm

• Transporting products through heating, cooling, or washing processes.
• Accumulating products for packaging or further processing stages.
• Handling items requiring stable, flat support, such as trays or delicate products.
• Integrating into automated production lines for precise product positioning.

Typical throughput

Variable, depending on slat speed and product size, commonly ranging from 5 to 50 items per minute for this class of equipment.

Power supply

Typically 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz, common for industrial motors and gearboxes in the UK.

Footprint

The listed unit is 2500mm long by 120mm wide. Overall footprint will be slightly larger due to motor and gearbox.

Slat material

Commonly stainless steel or food-grade plastic, chosen for hygiene and durability in food processing environments.

Height adjustment

Units of this type commonly feature adjustable legs to integrate with existing line heights, typically offering a range of 100-300mm.

Maintenance requirements

Regular cleaning, lubrication of bearings, and inspection of slats and motor/gearbox for wear are typically required.

• What types of products are best suited for a slat conveyor?

  Slat conveyors are ideal for products that require a stable, flat surface, such as trays, boxes, or items that need to be held securely during transport or processing.

• Can this conveyor handle wet or oily products?

• Is the speed of the conveyor adjustable?

• What is the purpose of the 'holding / clamp device' mentioned?

• What are the typical safety features on a used slat 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.
