Conveyor Pro SP belt chamber vacuum machines combine automatic infeed, chamber evacuation, heat sealing and discharge in one continuous packaging system, with published output up to 3 cycles/min and belt speed up to 40 m/min [S1].
The equipment serves food and non-food producers handling large batches, including meat, seafood, cheese, prepared foods and industrial components, while modular chamber, pump and sealing configurations address different bag formats and throughput requirements [S1][S4].
Core Configuration and Cycle Sequence
A belt-fed chamber vacuum machine removes the manual load-discharge step by moving filled bags into an enclosed chamber, evacuating air, heat-sealing the package and discharging the finished pack to the next process [S4]. On the Conveyor Pro SP 10.65, the sequence is reinforced by a separate automatic infeed, allowing operators or robotic handling to position products while the preceding vacuum cycle is in progress [S1].
The published SP 10.65 configuration includes a 1,110 × 840 mm vacuum chamber, 1 or 2 × 1,000 mm sealing bars, 670 mm between sealing bars and belt speed variable to 40 m/min [S1]. Its maximum cycle rate is 3 cycles/min, but the achieved rate depends on product characteristics, bag dimensions, target vacuum and machine configuration [S1][S4].
Some systems add controlled air release, nitrogen or carbon dioxide gas flushing, pump filtration and heat cutting. Gas flushing replaces oxygen inside the package to reduce oxidation, while soft air supports controlled pressure recovery for fragile or sharp products [S5].
Selecting Chamber and Sealing Capacity
Chamber and seal dimensions must match the product and pouch envelope, not merely the nominal line rate. The SP 10.65 has an overall footprint of 3,362 × 1,245 × 1,645 mm, a machine mass of 1,100 kg, a 250 mm useful lid height and optional 150, 200 or 320 mm heights [S1].
Available machines use different numbers, lengths and spacing of sealing bars to match chamber size and package format. The BMB Conveyor Pro architecture can use three sealing bars, load from either side and add adjustable sealing bars, bi-active Twin Seal or Wide Seal, and scrap cutting with automatic scrap suction [S1][S3].
The comparison is practical: a 800 × 10 mm seal on the DZQ-800C fits a smaller sealing width than the 1,000 × 10 mm seal on the DZQ-1000C; the two models both use a 200 m³/h vacuum pump, but their installed power rises from 6 kW to 7 kW. Their published cycle time is 20–40 seconds [S5].
Pump Sizing, Vacuum Level and Utilities
The SP 10.65 specifies one or two 300 m³/h vacuum pumps rated at 7.5–15 kW, with a 500 or 1,200 m³/h booster rated at 5.5 kW, and a final vacuum level of 1 mbar absolute. Performance is qualified as dependent on the product, final vacuum level and selected pump [S1].
Vacuum equipment can be configured to the product and production environment, or connected to a centralized vacuum system. The SP 10.65 uses a standard absolute sensor for vacuum control, while the DZQ-800C/1000C offers a 200 m³/h pump configuration, dust filtration, moisture-related pump self-cleaning and optional Busch pump selection [S1][S5].
Utility requirements also affect line compatibility. The SP 10.65 requires 400 V, 3-phase plus neutral and protective earth at 50 Hz, with 3 kW listed without the vacuum pump, plus dry, micro-filtered air at 6 or 8 bar and 60 Nl/cycle [S1]. The DZQ family accepts 3-phase 220/380 V at 50–60 Hz, allowing more electrical-site flexibility [S5].
Materials, Controls and Line Integration
The Conveyor Pro SP uses AISI 304 stainless steel for the machine structure, a 7-inch PLC touch screen and storage for as many as 99 work programs. Ethernet enables remote work-data control and connection to company systems, while the electrical cabinet is specified at IP67 / NEMA 4 [S1][S3].
Sanitation is handled through a quick-release belt, automatic water drainage and cleanable stainless construction. This design matters on food lines where residue, washdown moisture and belt access directly affect cleaning time and line availability [S1].
Integration with a belt conveyor can extend the infeed, while a downstream dryer or shrink tank can complete the pack sequence. The JAW FENG J-V032SCA measures 2,541 × 1,111 × 1,889 mm with a 1,050 × 860 × 260 mm chamber, while the J-V033LCA measures 3,303 × 1,321 × 1,889 mm, showing how machine length and chamber size change across belt models [S2].
A complete meat-packaging sequence can combine vacuum packaging, hot-water shrinking and surface-water removal before transfer to cold storage. This arrangement links the chamber machine to a vacuum packaging machine line function rather than treating vacuum sealing as a standalone station [S5].
Applications and Operating Limits
The strongest applications are products that benefit from controlled air removal, oxygen exclusion and repeatable pouch sealing. Published uses include fresh meat, poultry, seafood, cheese, produce, prepared foods, coffee and non-food industrial components [S4][S5].
Continuous operation does not mean every package can run at the machine's maximum rate. Long bags, high seal temperatures, deep chamber evacuation, fragile contents and heavy products can reduce usable throughput, so acceptance testing should use the intended pouch material, fill weight and target vacuum [S4].
Failure-mode control is equally specific. Pump dust ingress can increase wear, moisture can destabilize vacuum performance, and heat-seal settings must suit pouch thickness and composition. The published DZQ options address pump contamination, moisture and controlled vent release, while the SP range supports sealing-intensity adjustment for different pouch thicknesses [S1][S5].
Safety, Maintenance and Procurement Checks
The DZQ-800C/1000C includes anti-pinch protection that detects an obstruction during lid closing, stops movement and lifts the lid, reducing pinch exposure around the chamber [S5]. Guarding, emergency-stop arrangement, installation practice and operator training still need to be matched to the final line layout and site risk assessment.
Maintenance provisions should be priced as production requirements: quick-release belt removal, automatic drainage, pump filtration and pump self-cleaning reduce service access, but the design does not remove the need for scheduled inspection of seals, belts, sensors and vacuum components [S1][S5].
For procurement, compare vacuum level, pump capacity and power, seal length, chamber dimensions, bag-material range, cycle time, control connectivity, cleaning access and safety functions. A machine producing 3 cycles/min at one bag size does not establish that it will sustain that rate with a different bag, product load or sealing specification [S1][S4].
Track two measurable signals before acceptance: achieved cycles/min at the specified pouch and target vacuum, and sustained seal performance over a representative production run. These tests connect the nameplate rate to the conditions that determine real line capacity [S1][S4].
