- Typical throughput
- Variable, depending on belt speed and product density; commonly designed for continuous flow.
- Power supply
- Typically 3-phase industrial power (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) for motor operation, though smaller units may be single-phase.
- Frame material
- Stainless steel is standard for food processing environments due to hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Belt material
- Plastic slatted belts are common, offering durability, ease of cleaning, and suitability for various food products.
- Footprint
- For this class of equipment, a 3m long unit with a 300mm belt width will require an operational area slightly larger than its dimensions to allow for access and maintenance.
- Maintenance requirements
- Regular cleaning, belt tension checks, and lubrication of bearings are typically required.
- Speed control
- Many units feature variable speed drives to adjust throughput as needed.
