Conveyors

Ipeka designs, manufactures and installs conveyors and complete conveyor systems for bakeries. The scale ranges from a single transfer conveyor to systems that run through the whole bakery, from the oven to packaging and crating. Structures are designed for long-term industrial use and the frames are, almost without exception, stainless steel.

Typical uses:

• Transfer and buffering between the oven and the packaging line, together with cooling and proofing spirals
• Feeding and queuing of loaves to a bread slicer or a packaging machine — see our guide on feeding bread into an industrial slicer
• Transfers between rooms and floor levels, including lifts and bypass routes
• The end of the line: moving packed products towards crating and dispatch

Conveyor types:

• Belt conveyors
• Plastic module conveyors
• Stainless steel mesh conveyors
• Round belt conveyors

The conveyors are not assembled from ready-made frame modules — that would not give an optimal result. The frame structures are always designed for the application: the layout is drawn for the individual customer every time, and each conveyor is dimensioned for the product and the capacity it has to handle. The design work draws on established structural solutions that are easy to service and convenient to clean.

Food-approved belts from well-known, quality suppliers are used as standard, and speed control is normally included as standard as well. Because the layout, manufacture, installation and commissioning all come from the same supplier, the conveyors fit the rest of the line instead of being adapted to it afterwards.
