Transportation equipment in an automated food production line

In all kinds of food production line enterprises, there are a lot of materials (such as food raw materials, auxiliary materials or waste and finished or semi-finished products) supply and discharge problems. From raw materials into the factory to finished products, as well as in the production unit each process, there are a large number of materials need to transport, in order to reduce the labor intensity of workers, modern food factory must use a variety of transportation equipment to complete.
Therefore, reasonable selection and use of material conveying machinery and equipment, to ensure the continuity of production, improve labor productivity and product quality, reduce labor intensity, improve working conditions, reduce pollution in transportation and shorten the production cycle are of great significance.
After the adoption of advanced technology and equipment and the realization of single automation, more need to organically link up between the single machine, so that a single machine processing out of semi-finished products, with conveying machinery and equipment will be the semi-finished products to another single machine, gradually complete the processing after the formation of automatic production line, especially in the case of large-scale industrial production, Conveying machinery and equipment is more essential.

According to the working principle, conveying machinery and equipment can be divided into continuous type and intermittent type; According to the mode of movement when conveying, can be divided into linear type and rotary type; According to the driving mode, can be divided into mechanical drive, hydraulic drive, pneumatic drive and electromagnetic drive and other forms; According to the state of the conveying material, it can be divided into solid material conveying machinery and equipment and fluid material conveying machinery and equipment.
When conveying solid materials, various forms of belt conveyor, bucket elevator, screw conveyor, pneumatic conveying device or flow trough and other conveying machinery and equipment can be selected; When conveying fluid materials, various types of pump (such as centrifugal pump, screw pump, gear pump, slide pump, etc.) and vacuum suction device and other conveying machinery and equipment can be selected. As transportation equipment is almost widely used in all kinds of food enterprises, the design of the production line should be matched according to demand.
