“Belt conveyors revolutionized the food industry by significantly reducing traditional human labor and enhancing overall production, packaging, and food processing efficiency. While belt conveyors offer a convenient material handling system, their true value in the food industry hinges on the design and quality of their components. Wainwright, a leading belt conveyor supplier, offers products specifically designed for unit handling applications that precisely meet the stringent requirements of the food industry. Their solutions not only provide cost-effectiveness but also ensure high standards of hygiene, addressing critical needs within food processing environments.”

Cost-effective solutions

Belt conveyors automate and perform the transportation of large quantities of food (both raw materials as well as finished products) over long distances, at a much faster pace than traditional manual handling. Belt conveyors’ simple capacity increase corresponds to a higher level of productivity. Belt conveyors can be integrated into food industry processes to reduce human labor and, as a result, accidents. By relying upon modern, innovative, and high-quality machinery, you can achieve continuous and durable performance with minimal failure risks and energy cost. Wainwright has been a pioneer in this field: we base our design and manufacturing activities on innovation and quality to provide the best possible solutions for customers. Our components for belt conveyers are designed and manufactured using high-quality materials that meet the highest standards for quality and sustainability, both in terms of energy consumption as well as waste. This makes them perfect for demanding applications like the food industry.

Compliant with hygiene regulations

In the food industry, it is important to meet strict standards of hygiene to ensure that products are safe for consumption. Conveyor technology has helped many facilities comply with these regulations. Belt conveyors create a cleaner and safer environment, with less dirt that could lead to contamination of food. These systems reduce human contact, which can compromise food safety unintentionally. Second, they are easily cleaned by regular washing down operations. Wainwright’s products are the best example of how conveyor components can play a key role in this respect. Our products, such as motorized drive components are designed to prevent the formation of dust, rust and bacteria in dead spaces and corners. They also resist and tolerate any cleaning with water or disinfectants.
