From the TV of historical costumes, the “shadows” of high dump trucks and water-lifting cars are often seen in movies, and its appearance solves the problem of transportation of ancient objects, saving time and effort. This equipment is a modern bucket elevator and The prototype of the conveyor also solves the problem of material transport during food processing.
Various types of conveyors play a role in food processing
The author has learned that at present, there are various categories of conveyors on the market, such as flexible chain conveyors, belt conveyors, mesh chain conveyors, etc., which can meet the production needs of different food processing companies and can transport pastries, breads, and potato chips. , Beverages, milk and other materials or items, is one of the more common equipment in the food processing industry. So what are the common types of conveyors and what role does they play in food production and processing?
Flexible chain conveyor
According to relevant sources, in the beverage industry, flexible chain conveyors can continuously carry out beverages horizontally, vertically and obliquely to achieve space production and transportation, and are very flexible and flexible. In addition, this type of machine is suitable for small transport volume. , Regular items. It is worth noting that if the items to be transported are large in size and heavy in quality, the risk of the materials going offline is likely to occur in the case of high-speed transport of such equipment.
The author has learned that cylindrical bottled canned products, such as condiments, beer, beverages, meat products, and fruits, which are commonly found in daily life, can use flexible chain conveyors in the production and transportation links, and can effectively use space and equipment links. Realize the vertical transportation in space, avoid the bottle's long stay in the production gap during the production process, avoid the risk of downtime, and greatly increase the production efficiency.
It is worth mentioning that food processing companies are best to use in accordance with the operating instructions and professional guidance, but also pay attention to daily maintenance, not only can improve business productivity, but also extend the service life.
Belt conveyor
Belt conveyors are used in all walks of life. They have a wide range of uses and are mainly used for short-distance transport of goods, such as the food processing industry. At the Shanghai International Bakery Exhibition, I have seen moon cakes, cookies, steamed buns, steamed stuffed buns. Items such as the belt conveyor to achieve the switching of different processing links, to meet the needs of automated, continuous pipeline operations.
It is understood that this type of equipment mainly uses the friction between the drive roller and the conveyor belt to transfer power to achieve material transport. At the same time, with the corrective device can automatically detect the trend of the tape running, correcting the alarm at any time, to prevent the deviation of the material transport In addition to the production line, depending on the conveying process requirements, it can be a single transmission, or it can be a conveyor system with multiple components or with other conveyor equipment that is horizontal or inclined, which can effectively improve the continuous production efficiency of the complete machine.
Chain conveyor
According to relevant personnel, the chain conveyor uses stainless steel mesh belt as a carrier, suitable for drying, de-wetting, freezing, etc., and heat treatment of various food processing industries. It is also made of stainless steel, which has high temperature resistance and is easy to clean.
We know that in the process of food production and processing, it is not possible to transport horizontally. Therefore, the use of different forms of flat chain can realize various functions such as plane conveying, plane turning, lifting and lowering, and meet the requirements of multi-type conveying of food processing enterprises.
Xiao Bian concludes: Overall, compared with its delivery method, food processing companies use the conveyor belt as a transport carrier, which is safe to operate, easy to use, easy to maintain, and can be automated, continuous operation, not only improve work efficiency , Save labor, and to a certain extent, reduce the company's production costs.
