- 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.
