All TEC Conveyors have been designed to be low maintenance, with a hygienic and soft product handling for a 24/7 lights off operation.
Our conveyors are designed in the following formats: Horizontal, Inclined, Declined, Horizontal to Inclined, Inclined to Horizontal and “Z” Type or Horizontal to Inclined to Horizontal. The required format is chosen by our engineering team making the most efficient and simple operation and use of space to cover the requirements.
