In the development of today’s large scale food production technology, food hygiene has been paid more and more attention. In order to improve food processing level as well as food products quality, great efforts are invested. The emergence and development of food transportation equipment have provided many conveniences for food industries. Now we learn some information about the most common types of food conveying equipment.

1.Food roller conveyor: suitable for all kinds of boxes, bags, trays and so on to delivery the goods. It is able to transport a large piece of material or withstand greater impact loads, with large throughout, high speed, fast operation, and can be able to achieve variety of line shunt transport characteristics. Food roller conveyor can be divided into ring roller conveyor, lane roller conveyor, packing seal roller conveyor, 90 degree turn roller conveyor, etc.

2.Food belt conveyor: use the continuous or intermittent movement of belt conveyor to convey various light and heavy goods. It is not only can convey all kinds of bulk material, but also can convey the boxes, bags and so much of a single piece items. It is suitable for food industry, electronics, chemical, printing, etc. belt conveyors can be divided into: multi-belt conveyor, stainless steel belt conveyors, plastic nozzle belt conveyor, and 90 degree turning belt conveyor.

The conveyor equipment can not only convey granular materials, but also transport boxes items. In addition to the material conveying, it can be cooperated with various industrial procuresses to form a rhythmic flow transport line. No matter which part of the food processing industry, the conveying machinery can be used with them. Conveying machines has become the automatic device and the automatic assembly line in an indispensable accessory.
