- Typical capacity
- Varies significantly; light-duty units typically handle a few kilograms, while heavy-duty industrial conveyors can manage hundreds of kilograms per metre.
- Power supply
- Commonly 400V 3-phase for industrial applications, though smaller units may use 230V single-phase.
- Belt/chain material
- Typically PVC, PU, rubber, or stainless steel, depending on the conveyed product and environment.
- Speed range
- Often adjustable, with typical speeds ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 metres per second for general industrial use.
- Footprint
- Highly variable; can range from a few metres in length for short transfers to tens of metres for extensive lines.
- Maintenance requirements
- Typically involves regular inspection of belts/chains, bearings, and motors, along with lubrication as per manufacturer guidelines.
- Suitable feed sizes
- Depends on the conveyor type; belt conveyors handle a wide range of discrete items, while roller conveyors are suited for items with flat bases.
