Food sorting conveyor sprockets drive the chain mechanisms in fruit/vegetable grading lines, weight-based sorting systems, optical sorting conveyors, and product diversion mechanisms in meat, seafood, and produce processing. These sprockets must meet strict food-safety hygiene standards while delivering precise, high-speed sorting accuracy. We supply food sorting sprockets in SS304 with electro-polish, nylon for dry sorting, and double pitch for long accumulation zones.

Where: Weight grader conveyor drive, optical sorter infeed, lane diverter mechanism, accumulation conveyor, product rejection chute actuator. Function: Drive chain conveyors that transport produce through grading/sorting sensors and divert to appropriate lanes at high speed.
✅ SS304 electro-polish prevents biofilm — essential for meat, seafood, and produce sorting where direct food contact occurs.
✅ Nylon for dry produce sorting — non-marking, no oil contamination, FDA compatible.
✅ Precision tooth profiles for high-speed lane diversion accuracy — positional errors cause misgrading losses.
OEM: TOMRA*, Compac*, MAF RODA*, Key Technology*, Multiscan* sorting systems. *Ref only.
Select: ❶ Match chain pitch ❷ SS304 for wet areas; Nylon for dry ❸ Electro-polish for meat/seafood ❹ TL for frequent maintenance.
