Grid conveyors are versatile and reliable equipment for various food processing applications, such as confectionery, meat, fish, and vegetable handling. They consist of a metal mesh belt that moves on plastic rails or support rollers, driven by a shaft with polyamide pinions. The belt tension is adjusted by a special section of the conveyor.
One of the main benefits of grid conveyors is their ability to operate in extreme temperatures, from -35 degrees Celsius in freezing chambers to 200 degrees Celsius in baking ovens. This makes them ideal for high-temperature processes that require drying, baking, or boiling. Grid conveyors can also accommodate different product movements, such as straight, curved, inclined, or spiral. This enables them to optimize the product flow along the production line, according to the layout of the production facility.
There are many types of grids designed for a variety of technological and transportation problems. A wide range of structures, materials, and options allows for selecting the grid for each task. The initial data for determining the type of grid are:
- Product characteristics
- Capacity
- Method of the product laying on the belt
- Terms of use
- Width of grid
- Type of product processing
Grids can be classified according to the following characteristics:
- Material
- Type weaving
- The degree of openness
- Type of edge
- Motion path
- Size (diameter of the wire, number of locks, etc.) depends on the load, the length of the conveyor, and structure properties. Typically, the diameter of the wire is chosen with a reserve to ensure the reliable operation of the equipment.
