This stainless steel constructed, pneumatic controlled sanitary quick release tool-less belt conveyor from Multi-Conveyor has a retractable idle and drive end with a center take-up. Made to transport temperature controlled raw meat product at a volume of more than 50,000 lbs. per hour and running up to 60 FPM at 60 hertz, the retractable idle end operates with a customer supplied metal detector to reject product at the infeed, while a manually adjustable belt scrapper with catch pan scrapes off excess product that does not fall into the totes.
Sanitary specifications include a mill finish with electro-polish. All welds have to be continuous, free of pits, cracks, and crevices. The retractable “noser” frame itself is completely removable. The controls are located in an offset sanitary enclosure. Electrical components are mounted in a single NEMA 4X stainless steel slope top enclosure, which houses a through-door disconnect, an Allen Bradley PowerFlex 40 AC motor controller, safety relay, Micro Logix PLC, extend and retract actuators and other control devices.
