Project
For this contract, Frei Fördertechnik AG implemented all steps from planning to installation and commissioning. A conveyor system was designed for a very confined space, which spans the floor height of 4.6 metres and can also be used as a cooling section. The modular belts are equipped with heat-resistant link belt chains. Due to the soiling caused by bread crumbs, the entire conveyor line is equipped with covers below the belt. The transfer chutes are designed such that the loaves are gently passed from one belt to the next. Small cleats on the descending belts prevent the loaves from sliding.
