Conveyors

Conveyors Overview

Industrial conveyors transport products efficiently between processing stages in food factories, handling accumulation, merging, diverting, and elevation while maintaining hygiene, speed, and minimal downtime for items like trays, packs, or bulk ingredients.

Modular plastic belt or wire mesh types dominate food lines, with variable speeds (up to 120 m/min), servo indexing, and features like flights, cleats, or cooling zones, often stainless steel in IP67 for washdown and easy belt swaps.
