Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can range from a few items per minute to several tonnes per hour, depending on belt width and speed.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type are 400V 3-phase or 230V single-phase electrical supplies, often with variable speed drives.

Belt material

Typically, belts are made from PVC, PU, rubber, or modular plastic, selected based on the material being conveyed and environmental conditions.

Frame construction

Frames are commonly constructed from mild steel (painted or powder-coated) or stainless steel, with stainless steel preferred for hygienic applications.

Footprint

The footprint varies significantly; buyers should consider the required length and width for their specific operational layout.

Maintenance requirements

Regular maintenance typically involves checking belt tension, motor and gearbox lubrication, and inspecting for wear and tear on rollers and bearings.

Operating speed

Operating speeds are often adjustable, typically ranging from a few metres per minute up to 60 metres per minute or more, depending on the application.
