Soco systems 90 degree driven roller conveyor

• Used for changing the direction of product flow within a processing line.
• Ideal for integrating different conveyor lines or feeding packaging machinery.
• Suitable for applications requiring precise product orientation at a 90-degree turn.
• Commonly found in food processing, pharmaceutical, and logistics environments.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on product size and weight, but units of this type can handle continuous flow.

Power supply

Typically 3-phase industrial power, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK, though single-phase options exist for lighter duty.

Roller material

For this unit, plastic rollers are specified, commonly food-grade polypropylene or similar durable plastics.

Frame material

Given the 'stainless side guide', the frame is typically stainless steel, suitable for hygienic environments.

Conveyor width

This unit features a 500mm plastic roller width, which is a common size for medium-sized products.

Maintenance requirements

Generally low, involving regular cleaning, lubrication of bearings, and inspection of drive components.

Footprint

A 90-degree unit will require a square footprint roughly equivalent to its width plus turning radius.

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.
