Huiqian Machinery Delivers Custom Knife-Edge Belt Conveyor

Recently, Huiqian Logistics Machinery has completed the delivery of a custom knife-edge belt conveyor system for Hubei Jianong. This equipment is specially developed for transporting pre-packed fruits before boxing, solving production challenges in fresh fruit sorting and smooth material transition, helping agricultural product processing workshops upgrade to automated assembly lines and boost fruit packaging capacity.

The project adopts knife-edge belt conveyors as the main conveying unit. The knife-edge design is critical for fruit transportation. With an ultra-small transition gap at the belt end, it enables smooth transfer of fruit cartons and plastic totes, avoiding jamming, tipping or edge clamping. The machine frame is built with stainless steel to fit food-grade workshops. The food-grade PU conveyor belt is wear-resistant and easy to clean. Operators can quickly wash away fruit juice and debris to meet frequent sanitation requirements in fresh food workshops.

The whole conveyor system supports straight and loop curved layouts. Length, height and turning radius can be customized according to on-site workshop dimensions. Variable frequency speed regulation matches sorting rhythms of different fruits. Stable low-speed operation protects packaged fruits and prevents bump damage. Adjustable support feet help level the machine on uneven ground, cutting civil reconstruction costs.

Besides pre-boxing fruit handling, knife-edge belt conveyors serve multiple industries: fruit & vegetable processing, food packaging, pre-made food lines, pharmaceutical packaging, small daily goods sorting. Ideal for short-distance transition between workstations, it can connect with sorting tables, weighing machines and case sealers to form a complete production line, widely used in light industry and food automation.

The management of Hubei Jianong shared that manual tote transfer brought heavy workload, low throughput and package damage risks. Huiqian’s customized layout fits their existing workshop without major renovation. After deployment, the line reduces labor input, maintains continuous boxing flow and preserves fruit quality.
