What are some important considerations when selecting PT components for conveyors used in food and beverage processing applications?

In food and beverage applications, the type of product as well as the environment it will be in will determine the type of conveying system used and the characteristics of the components selected to build the conveying systems. There are many factors to take into consideration including temperature, the use of chemicals, water and airflow requirements, deliberate and incidental contact with food products, and product sensitivity/product damage. In many cases, mechanical components must meet USDA and FDA requirements, especially where there is direct contact with the product.

Six questions you need to ask when sizing a VFD for your Project.

1. Temperature of the installation site. All VFDs can operate in a 40° C ambient. Some are rated for a 50° C ambient.

2. The ability of the VFD enclosure to dissipate heat.

3. Total continuous loading on the VFD as a percentage of
its rated ampere load capability.

4. Load type: constant torque, variable torque, constant horsepower or impact

5. Single or three-phase input power feed

6. Setting of VFD output power switching frequency. Refer
to VFD selection literature for specific guidelines.
