Close Transfer Conveyor with Food Grade Belting at C Trak Ltd

These #conveyors were actually for a #food manufacture #transferring raw food Using #close #transfer. Designed and Fabricated in our Bedfordshire Factory UK. A close transfer between #belt conveyors prevents small or unstable products from tipping or becoming trapped in the gap between conveyors. View our dedicated page https://www.c-trakconveyors.co.uk/clo... This is achieved by minimising both the horizontal distance and the elevation difference between the discharge end of one conveyor and the receiving end of the next. For food applications using blue food-grade belts, the most effective solution is a knife-edge transfer, where a small-diameter nose bar, typically between 15 mm and 20 mm, replaces a conventional end roller. The small nose radius allows the two conveyors to be positioned extremely close together, providing continuous product support during the transfer. This design is particularly suitable for small, lightweight, or delicate food products because it reduces product drop, improves stability, and minimizes the risk of jams or damage. Care should be taken to ensure that the selected belt is compatible with the required nose-bar diameter and that the transfer is designed to meet hygiene and cleanability requirements for food processing environments.
