- Typical throughput
- Variable, depending on belt speed and product density; for this class of equipment, it can range from several hundred kg to a few tonnes per hour.
- Power supply
- Commonly 230V single-phase or 400V three-phase, 50Hz, typical for industrial applications in the UK.
- Belt material
- Typically food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic, suitable for direct food contact.
- Frame material
- Stainless steel is standard for food processing environments due to hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Footprint
- For a 1m long conveyor, the footprint is approximately 1m in length plus motor housing, and the stated belt width plus frame width.
- Speed control
- Variable speed drives are commonly found on units of this type, allowing adjustment for different products and processes.
- Hygiene standards
- Units for food processing are typically designed for easy cleaning to meet HACCP and other food safety regulations.
