Introduction to stainless steel frame conveyor system
A simple conveyor system consists of a frame, conveyor belt, and control unit combined together to create an effective material handling system. The conveyor frame is an indispensable part of the conveyor system, supporting the product when moving. The ability to support heavy or light products depends on the type of material used to make the conveyor frame.
Currently, conveyor manufacturers mainly choose stainless steel, aluminum profiles, and steel to make the conveyor frame. The conveyor frame is designed from simple to complex depending on the characteristics of each industry and the product being processed. Thanks to its excellent physical properties and excellent heat resistance, stainless steel material has become the optimal choice for many industries, with extremely wide application in the manufacture of conveyors.
Characteristics of stainless steel conveyor frame:
- Good hardness to withstand large loads
- Withstand high temperatures, oil resistance, good anti-adhesion
- Very good corrosion resistance when exposed to various chemicals
- Good rust resistance, strong impact resistance, high durability
- Easy to process
Stainless steel frame conveyor systems are widely used in food processing industries or in humid, high-alkaline working environments. Stainless steel conveyor frames are often used exclusively in the design of stainless steel conveyors, specifically stainless steel chain conveyors and stainless steel mesh conveyors. However, depending on customer requirements, Intech will use stainless steel frames to manufacture other types of conveyors.
