Agricultural and Food Processing Conveyors
Agricultural conveyors move grain, feed, produce, dairy products, sugar cane, tea and meat gently and hygienically, from harvest and intake through processing and packing.
- Grain, feed and produce
- Food-grade belt options
- SS frames available
Conveyors for Agriculture & Food
Farm produce and food products need careful handling. Grain must not be crushed or spilled, fruit must not bruise, and anything that touches food must be easy to clean. Conveyors replace lifting and carrying, keep product moving at a controlled pace, and reduce losses.
EKA Conveyors builds belt, modular, roller and slat conveyors for agriculture and food processing, with stainless steel frames and food-grade PU, PVC or modular plastic belts where products are exposed.
Agriculture & Food Applications
Choose a process to see the conveyors we recommend for it.
Grain Handling and Storage
Grain handling conveyors from EKA move wheat, rice, maize and soybean from intake to cleaning, drying, storage and dispatch in a steady flow, with less manual handling, spillage and breakage.
Fruit and Vegetable Washing
Fruit and vegetable washing conveyors carry produce through pre-wash, washing, rinsing, drying and inspection at a steady pace, so every piece gets the same cleaning with less handling and bruising.
Fruit and Vegetable Packing
Fruit and vegetable packing conveyors link sorting, grading, packing, weighing, labelling and dispatch so produce and cartons keep moving, packers stay at their stations and fewer items are bruised or mispacked.
Livestock Feed Production
Feed mill conveyors move grains, oilseed meals, additives and finished mash or pellets through intake, grinding, mixing, pelleting, bagging and dispatch, keeping every batch on schedule with less manual lifting.
Poultry and Egg Production
Poultry and egg conveyors from EKA move feed, eggs, trays, crates and manure around layer and broiler farms and packing rooms, reducing manual handling, egg breakage and movement between clean and dirty areas.
Dairy Industry
Dairy conveyors from EKA move milk cans, pouches, cups, bottles, crates and cartons through reception, packing, cold storage and dispatch, with SS frames and food-grade belts for wet, washdown areas.
Sugar Processing Industry
Sugar mill conveyors move cane, bagasse, press mud and finished sugar through extraction, boiling house, drying, bagging and dispatch, keeping the season running with less manual handling and spillage.
Crop Packaging & Distribution
Crop packaging and distribution conveyors carry bagged, crated and boxed produce from packing stations to sorting, storage and loading docks, so harvest peaks move through your shed without bottlenecks or damaged packs.
Mushroom Cultivation
Mushroom farm conveyors move compost, straw substrate, bags, trays and freshly picked mushrooms between preparation yards, grow rooms and packing, cutting the heavy manual work that limits how many rooms a farm can run.
Tea Processing
Tea processing conveyors carry green leaf and made tea from receiving and withering through rolling, oxidation, drying, sorting and packing, with gentle handling that protects leaf quality and reduces manual carrying.
Greenhouse and Nursery
Greenhouse and nursery conveyors move potting media, pots, seedling trays and finished plants between potting, growing and dispatch areas, saving labour and reducing damage to young plants in polyhouses and nurseries.
Vineyards and Wineries
Winery conveyors from EKA carry grapes from harvest crates to sorting, destemming and pressing, remove pomace, and move bottles and cases through packing, with SS frames and food-grade belts for grape contact.
Meat Processing
Meat processing conveyors from EKA carry cuts, trimmings, minced and cooked products through cutting, deboning, grinding, cooking, chilling and packing, with SS frames and food-grade belts built for daily washdown.
Ginning Industry
Cotton ginning conveyors from EKA feed kapas to the gins, carry cottonseed away, move bales to storage and trucks, and clear waste, so your ginning factory runs through the season with fewer workers in the heap.
Common Problems We Solve
Manual lifting and carrying
Conveyors move sacks, crates and loose produce without heavy labour.
Product damage and losses
Gentle transfers and controlled speed reduce bruising, breakage and spillage.
Seasonal peaks
Conveyors keep intake and processing moving when volumes spike at harvest.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about agriculture & food.
Which conveyor is best for grain?
Troughed belt conveyors suit long horizontal runs, bucket elevators lift grain vertically, and screw or drag chain conveyors work well in enclosed spaces. The right choice depends on capacity, distance and height.
What belts are suitable for food contact?
PU and food-grade PVC belts and modular plastic belts are commonly used. Choose a belt compound suited to the food, temperature and cleaning method.
Can you build conveyors in stainless steel?
Yes. Stainless steel frames are recommended for wet, washdown and food-contact areas.
How can I stop fruit and vegetables bruising?
Keep drop heights small, use soft transfers or padded rollers, and control speed. Roller and belt conveyors can be designed for gentle handling.
Do you supply conveyors for cotton ginning?
Yes. See our ginning industry page for kapas feeding, lint, seed and bale handling conveyors.
Can conveyors be used outdoors at farms?
Yes, with weather protection, suitable coatings and belts, and covers where rain or dust are a concern.
