Hygienic trough-shaped conveyor belt for vegetable processing
Optimize your vegetable processing line with a hygienic solution that effectively centers and conveys products, even when wet, minimizing spillage and maximizing throughput efficiency.
Centers and Transports Fresh Produce Efficiently
The Hygienic Trough-Shaped Conveyor Belt HCB-400-TS is an engineered solution tailored for vegetable processing companies, developed to meet the rigorous demands of fresh produce handling. Its innovative trough-shaped design ensures products are automatically centered on the belt, minimizing spillage and optimizing transport. This conveyor excels in handling a variety of end-products such as salad mixes, diced vegetables, and sliced cucumbers with precision and efficiency.
The HCB-400-TS seamlessly integrates into production lines, designed to function efficiently with upstream equipment like the BCM-1650/BCM-2450 vegetable cutting machine and downstream options such as the VWM-2500/VWM-3600 vegetable washing machine. With a belt speed approximating 48 m/min, it offers consistent and high-speed conveying that supports continuous operation, crucial for maximizing throughput.
Engineered with a stainless steel drum motor and turning roll, the conveyor promises durability and hygiene. Dismantlable input and output funnels, equipped with a food-grade rubber closure and a scraper, eliminate product waste and maintain cleanliness. Supporting the belt on one side simplifies maintenance and cleaning procedures, enhancing operational efficiency. Additionally, its stainless steel brake castors enhance mobility, allowing easy reconfiguration within production settings.
