Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Moving products between different stages of a production line.
• Transporting raw materials or finished goods within a warehouse or factory.
• Facilitating packaging and sorting operations.
• Connecting various processing machines in an automated system.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Varies significantly by design; light-duty conveyors typically handle a few kilograms per metre, while heavy-duty units can manage hundreds of kilograms.

Power supply

Commonly 400V 3-phase for industrial applications, though smaller units may use 230V single-phase.

Belt material

Typically PVC, PU, rubber, or modular plastic, depending on the product being conveyed and environmental conditions.

Frame material

Commonly mild steel, stainless steel for hygiene-critical applications, or aluminium for lighter duty.

Speed range

Often adjustable, with typical speeds ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 metres per second, depending on application requirements.

Maintenance requirements

Regular inspection of belts, bearings, and motors is typically required, along with periodic lubrication and tension adjustments.

Footprint

Highly variable; can range from a few metres in length for short transfers to hundreds of metres for complex systems.
