The H-TECH conveyor is a compact belt conveyor that imitates a production line for inkjet coding, with adjustable speed, stainless steel support and a rubber belt (see the product page). It pairs with the inkjet and batch coders.
How to Choose a Conveyor
- Product: size, weight, shape, and whether it is wet, oily or hot.
- Width: a little wider than the largest product.
- Length: enough to fit every station (coding, sealing, labelling, packing) with working space.
- Speed: adjustable, to match your slowest machine or the packing team.
- Frame: stainless steel for food, dairy and pharmaceutical areas.
- Power: single-phase is simpler for small workshops.
Where Conveyors Pay Off
A conveyor removes the lifting and carrying between machines, keeps the pace steady and lets one person handle more output. Measure your line before and after with the packaging output calculator.
Safety and Care
- Keep guards on drive rollers and pinch points.
- Fit an emergency stop within reach.
- Clean the belt daily in food areas; check tension and tracking weekly.
