Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Transporting goods between different stages of a production line.
• Moving packaged products for sorting or dispatch.
• Handling raw materials in bulk for processing.
• Facilitating assembly operations by presenting components to workstations.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Varies significantly; for this class of equipment, it typically ranges from light loads (e.g., a few kg per item) to several hundred kg per metre, depending on design and motorisation.

Power supply

Commonly 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz for industrial motors in the UK, though smaller units might use 230V, 1-phase.

Belt/Chain material

Typically PVC, PU, rubber, or modular plastic for belt conveyors; steel or plastic for chain conveyors, selected based on application and product characteristics.

Speed range

Often variable, typically ranging from a few metres per minute up to 60 metres per minute or more, depending on the motor and gearbox configuration.

Footprint considerations

Length and width are highly variable; buyers should consider available floor space and integration with existing lines. Height is often adjustable.

Motor type

Typically an AC electric motor, often with a gearbox for speed reduction. For this unit, it is confirmed to include a motor.
