Conveyor Whistle
Description
A sprocket-driven belt conveyor is a belt conveyor whose one end has a 45° angle on a fixed blade.
By combining a sprocket-driven belt conveyor with a straight conveyor, a curve or another sprocket-driven belt conveyor, it is possible to orient, separate, tighten, redirect at 90° or align products while minimizing contacts.
BFR sprocket-driven belt conveyors have the same characteristics as straight conveyors:
- Pneumatic belt tension
- Pneumatic belt tracking
- Small diameter ends for small products
- Continuous scraping with waste recovery tray
- Quick belt dismantling possible
- All-stainless steel design without retention zone allowing jet washing if necessary
APPLICATIONS
The applications of whistle conveyors are multiple:
- Widening the flow to facilitate the grip of products by robots, for example
- Narrowing the flow width to feed a tunnel, coater or any other equipment that is narrower than the original flow
- Combining a 90-degree product redirection with a contactless change of orientation
- Bringing back in line products that arrive ordered in rows
Whistle conveyors are commonly used in the biscuit-pastry, viennoiserie, chocolate, and snacking industries, whether in fresh or frozen products.
