Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Conveyor for Animal Feed - Full Article
We take great pride in designing and manufacturing heavy-duty stainless steel belt conveyors in Britain—built to meet the most demanding requirements and engineered for durability, hygiene, and performance.
The Project Brief
A specialist in animal feed processing needed a conveyor that could handle large weights—up to 30 kg per metre—operate continuously at a steady speed, and endure daily heavy use. They also required mobility for repositioning, stainless steel construction for hygiene and strength, plus reliable performance with minimal downtime in a clean, dry production environment.

Length: 1,415 mm
Belt Width: 400 mm
Frame Material: 4 mm thick Grade 304 stainless steel (2B finish)
Belt Type: 14 mm thick black rubber belt — robust grip under heavy load
Drive: Drum motor system for dependable power delivery
Rollers: End rollers 165 mm diameter for smooth transfer
Speed: ~ 25 m/min for consistent product flow
Support Structure: Welded “H” frame for maximum stability
Mobility: Heavy-duty lockable swivel castors for flexible positioning
Height (top of belt): 260 mm
Electrical Specs: 3-phase, 415 V, 50 Hz
Extras: Removable angled side guides to maintain alignment during loading and transport
Benefits & Outcomes
This UK-manufactured conveyor delivered tangible advantages:
