Conveyor Types

FOOD

All conveyors designed for the food industry must meet HACCP standards. Our engineers Design all food grade conveyors with cleaning and Hygiene at the forefront of design.

A depth of understanding is required when manufacturing Conveyors for the food industry. The design must take into account trap points for bacteria and provide easy to clean surfaces and fabrication structures.

The client's internal standards are integrated into regulatory standards when considering the design criteria of our conveyor systems.

BEVERAGE

Our conveyors provide the link between individual items of machinery on a Beverage line. Production flow must be co-ordinated between each link of the bottling process. In order for the fillers, labellers and packers to work effectively they not only need to be fed sufficient product they must be able to run during minor stoppages downstream.

Available conveyor occupation and accumulation must be balanced to ensure machines have sufficient product to process whilst ensuring machine downtime does not effect the overall equipment efficiency.

CARTONS

Carton conveyors are generally required to transport finished product to a storage or palletising area. It is generally a requirement to accumulate the cartons during either of these processes. The type of carton conveyor design will be determined by several factors.

The carton integrity and board thickness, the contents and packing of the carton have a significant influence in the amount of accumulation possible for each product. It is our task to determine the amount of line pressure possible for each type of carton and product.

This back pressure is dependent on the driving force and the friction co-efficient inherit in the chain. Advanced Engineering use all these factors in the design calculations of your carton conveyor.

BULK MATERIALS

Conveying of bulk material has very different design considerations to that of small individual products. The weight and dimension of the product influences not only the conveyor type but OH&S must be considered in the handling process.
A damaged carton jamming on a product line can be man handled however a fully laden pallet can create very different possibilities. Design for safety and consideration of the pallet load must incorporate control logic to cater for all situations.
