Conveyor Belt

Applications & Use Cases

• Transporting goods between different stages of a production line.
• Moving packaged products for sorting, labelling, or dispatch.
• Handling bulk materials such as aggregates, grains, or powders.
• Facilitating assembly operations by presenting components to workers.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Varies significantly; light-duty units may handle a few kilograms, while heavy-duty industrial conveyors can manage several tonnes per hour.

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, selected based on the material being conveyed and environmental conditions.

Speed range

Often variable, from slow indexing for assembly to several metres per second for high-throughput applications.

Footprint

Highly variable; can range from compact benchtop units to extensive, multi-section systems spanning large factory floors.

Maintenance requirements

Typically involves regular inspection of belt tension, tracking, bearings, and motor/gearbox lubrication.
