Introduction

At CMS Conveyors, we pride ourselves on designing and delivering tailored conveyor systems that meet the specific needs of our clients across a wide range of industries. Our latest project with a local fruit packing company demonstrates this commitment — a bespoke 9-metre stainless steel framed modular belt conveyor designed, built, and installed to handle fruit efficiently and hygienically.

Project Overview

This company is known for its dedication to fresh, high-quality fruit products, required a conveyor solution that could withstand continuous operation while maintaining the strict hygiene standards essential to food handling. The CMS team collaborated closely with them to design a conveyor system that seamlessly integrated into their existing production line and supported their growing throughput requirements.

System Design and Features

The result was a 9-metre-long modular belt conveyor, engineered entirely from stainless steel for durability, corrosion resistance, hygiene compliance, and ease of cleaning — vital characteristics for food processing environments.

Key features include:

• Stainless Steel Construction – ensuring compliance with food industry hygiene standards and long-term durability.
• Modular Belt Design – allowing easy maintenance and smooth, consistent product transfer.
• Optimised for Fruit Handling – with a gentle conveying action that prevents bruising or damage to produce.
• Custom-Built Framework – designed to fit within the customers existing floor layout and operational workflow.

Installation and Results

Our skilled installation team attended site when it was convenient to the customer during allocated downtime, completing the setup efficiently and on schedule. Once commissioned, the new conveyor system immediately improved production flow, reduced manual handling, and enhanced overall efficiency.

Implications and Benefits

By integrating this modular belt conveyor, the customer has achieved a cleaner, more streamlined production process. The stainless-steel design not only supports food safety compliance but also simplifies maintenance — reducing downtime and operating costs over time.
