Avtec Conveyors

Avtec conveyors are innovative solutions for high-volume commercial kitchens, colleges, banquet halls, convention centers, and hotels. The Bus Trac, Fabric Belt, and Salt Belt conveyors help speed up service and save time and labor.

Bus Trac Conveyors: Avtec’s Bus Trac conveyor is a highly efficient solution for handling soiled trays in cafeterias and foodservice establishments. It accommodates a vertical accumulation of 2-5 tiers and has the capacity to hold up to 20 times the tray volume of traditional single-belt conveyors. This allows for a seamless transition between the dining area and the dish room. Its stainless steel construction and removable parts make it easy to clean and maintain. The Bus Trac’s variable speed control and infrared limit switches prevent jams and ensure smooth operation. It is available in lengths ranging from 9 ft (2.743 m) to 37 ft (11.277 m).
Fabric Belt Conveyors: Avtec’s fabric belt conveyors streamline the plating process in banquet halls, convention centers, and hotels. The S Series is ideal for shorter conveyor lengths of 10 ft (3.048 m) to 15 ft (4.572 m) and features a lightweight design driven by a motorized drum. The K Series is suitable for longer conveyors exceeding 20 ft (6.096 m) and utilizes a traditional chain drive system. Both models feature a durable PVC-coated fabric belt that is easy to clean and resistant to stains.
Slat Belt Conveyors: Avtec’s slat belt conveyors maximize efficiency and hygiene in cafeteria dish rooms. The patented slanted rollers and gapless slats ensure smooth operation and easy cleaning. The self-cleaning return tracks eliminate the need for drip pans, reducing labor and improving sanitation. The conveyor’s auto-tensioning system and safety features minimize the risk of jams and damage.
