From the TV and movies of ancient costumes, we often see the "figures" of high-drum trucks and dump trucks that carry water. Its appearance solves the problem of ancient object transportation, saving time and effort, and this equipment is the modern bucket elevator and The prototype of the conveyor also solves the problem of material transportation in the food processing process.
​​
At present, there are various types of conveyors on the market, such as flexible chain conveyors, belt conveyors, mesh chain conveyors, etc., which can meet the production needs of different food processing enterprises, and can transport cakes, bread, potato chips, beverages, milk It is one of the more common equipment in the food processing industry.
​​
Let's take a closer look at these common conveyors and their roles in food production and processing~
​​
Flexible chain conveyor
​​
In the beverage industry, the flexible chain conveyor can continuously carry out the production and transportation of beverages horizontally, vertically and inclined in space, which is very flexible and changeable. This type of model is suitable for transporting small and regular items. It is worth noting that if the items to be transported are larger in volume and heavier in quality, in the case of high-speed transportation of this type of equipment, the risk of material offline is likely to occur.
​​
Cylindrical bottled and canned products commonly seen in our lives, such as condiments, beer, beverages, meat products, fruits, etc., can use flexible chain conveyors in the production and conveying links, which can effectively utilize the space and the link between equipment and achieve spatial The vertical transportation of the bottle can avoid the long-term retention of the bottle in the production gap during the production process, avoid the risk of downtime, and greatly improve the production efficiency.

Belt conveyor
​​
Belt conveyors are used in all walks of life, and they are widely used, mainly used for short-distance transportation of goods, such as the food processing industry. At the Shanghai International Baking Exhibition, items such as moon cakes, biscuits, steamed buns, and steamed buns are switched between different processing links through belt conveyors to meet the needs of automated, continuous and other assembly line operations.
​​
It is understood that this type of equipment mainly relies on the friction between the driving roller and the conveyor belt to transmit power to realize material transportation. At the same time, with a deviation correction device, it can automatically detect the running trend of the belt, and carry out a deviation correction alarm at any time to prevent the material conveying from deviating from the production line. In addition, according to the requirements of the conveying process, it can be a single transmission, or multiple components or combined with other conveying equipment. The horizontal or inclined conveying system can effectively improve the continuous production efficiency of the whole machine.

Mesh chain conveyor
​​
According to relevant personnel, the mesh chain conveyor adopts stainless steel mesh belt as the carrier, which is suitable for drying, dehumidification, freezing, heat treatment, etc. in various food processing industries. At the same time, it is made of stainless steel, which has the characteristics of high temperature resistance and easy cleaning.
​​
We know that in the process of food production and processing, it is impossible to transport them horizontally, so different forms of flat chain chains can be used to realize various functions such as plane transportation, plane turning, lifting and lowering, etc., to meet the requirements of multi-modal transportation of food processing enterprises.
​​
In general, compared with its conveying methods, food processing enterprises use conveyor belts as transportation carriers, which are safe to operate, easy to use, easy to maintain, and can realize automated and continuous operations, which not only improves work efficiency, but also saves labor. , and also reduce the production cost of the enterprise to a certain extent.
