Engineered for High-Speed Poultry Processing and Freezing Lines

Baltic Conveyor Systems designs, manufactures and installs custom conveyor systems for poultry processing facilities across Europe and internationally.

Our projects have been implemented in Germany, Hungary, Czech Republic, Norway, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, as well as in other European countries. Selected systems have also been delivered to customers in the United States.

We do not supply standard catalogue equipment.
Each conveyor system is engineered according to:

  • required line speed and throughput

  • hygiene zoning and washdown regime

  • freezing and thermal processing requirements

  • room geometry and available height

  • integration with cutting, portioning, packaging and freezing equipment

Our objective is stable product flow from processing through freezing and packaging.

Production Challenges in Poultry Processing

Poultry processing lines operate under:

  • high production capacity

  • strict hygiene control

  • intensive daily cleaning

  • temperature transitions (processing → freezing)

  • limited installation space

Critical stages include:

  • synchronization between processing and packaging

  • shock freezing

  • controlled product spacing before freezing chambers

  • accumulation before packaging

Transport systems must remain reliable under both mechanical stress and extreme temperature conditions.

Spiral Conveyors and Shock Freezing Systems

Freezing is a critical stage in poultry production.

We design and implement:

  • Spiral freezing conveyors

  • Shock freezing tunnels

  • Conveyor systems integrated into freezing chambers

Spiral systems are applied when:

  • extended freezing time is required

  • floor space is limited

  • continuous high-capacity freezing is necessary

Shock freezing systems are engineered to ensure:

  • uniform air circulation

  • controlled product spacing

  • consistent freezing results

  • structural stability at low temperatures

Each freezing solution is designed according to:

  • product size and weight

  • required dwell time

  • airflow configuration

  • available installation height

Stainless Steel Construction for Cold and Washdown Environments

Poultry processing and freezing environments require:

  • corrosion-resistant materials

  • structural stability at low temperatures

  • hygienic design

  • resistance to aggressive sanitation

We implement:

  • Stainless steel frame constructions

  • Open hygienic designs

  • Proper drainage geometry

  • Components suitable for low-temperature operation

All systems are engineered for frequent washdown and high humidity.

Belt and Modular Conveyor Systems

Depending on the process stage, we implement:

  • PU belt conveyors for hygienic raw poultry transport

  • Modular plastic belt conveyors for durability and easy maintenance

  • PVC belt conveyors for secondary transport

  • Stainless steel wire mesh belt conveyors for thermal zones and applications requiring airflow or drainage

  • Accumulation conveyors

  • Inclined and curved conveyors

Wire mesh belt conveyors are particularly suitable in:

  • pre-freezing zones

  • thermal processing stages

  • applications requiring airflow and drainage

Belt selection is determined based on:

  • temperature exposure

  • sanitation intensity

  • line speed

  • product characteristics

No universal belt configuration is used.

Conveyors for Crates, Boxes and Internal Logistics

Poultry facilities require reliable transport systems for:

  • plastic crates

  • poultry transport boxes

  • palletized frozen products

  • return logistics systems

We design:

  • Roller conveyors

  • Chain conveyors

  • Pallet conveyors

  • Accumulation systems

All adapted to facility footprint and internal logistics flow.

Integration Into Existing Poultry Plants

Many poultry projects involve expansion of freezing capacity or modernization of processing lines.

Our engineering process includes:

  • evaluation of freezing zones

  • adaptation to existing building geometry

  • integration with freezing chambers and packaging machines

  • phased installation to minimize downtime

Systems are engineered to operate within active production environments.

EU Manufacturing and Installation

All conveyor systems are:

  • Engineered in-house

  • Manufactured in the EU

  • Installed and commissioned by our technical team

This ensures:

  • single-point technical responsibility

  • compliance with EU industrial standards

  • controlled production quality

  • predictable implementation

Operational Benefits for Poultry Processing Facilities

Properly engineered conveyor systems provide:

  • Stable high-speed operation

  • Uniform shock freezing performance

  • Reduced bottlenecks before and after freezing

  • Improved hygiene management

  • Reliable crate and pallet handling

  • Long-term durability in low-temperature environments

Transport systems become structurally stable and thermally reliable elements of the production line.
