• Accumulating products before further processing or dispatch.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Varies significantly based on belt width, speed, and product density; commonly ranges from a few kilograms per minute for small items to several tonnes per hour for bulk goods.

Power supply

Typically 230V single-phase or 400V three-phase, 50Hz, depending on motor size and required throughput.

Conveyor belt material

Commonly food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic for general use; stainless steel mesh or wire for high-temperature or washdown applications.

Frame material

Often stainless steel for hygiene in food environments, or painted mild steel for less critical applications.

Speed control

Many units feature variable speed drives (VSDs) for adjustable throughput, typically controlled via an inverter.

Footprint

Highly variable; length can range from under 1 metre to many tens of metres, with widths from 100mm to over 1 metre.

Hygiene features

For food processing, units commonly feature open designs for easy cleaning, quick-release belts, and IP-rated components.
