- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, capacity typically ranges from a few hundred kilograms to several tonnes per hour, depending on belt width and speed.
- Power supply
- Conveyors commonly operate on standard industrial electrical supplies, typically 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz, with smaller units potentially using 230V, single-phase.
- Belt material
- Common belt materials include food-grade PVC, polyurethane, or modular plastic, selected based on product contact and hygiene requirements.
- Frame material
- Frames are typically constructed from stainless steel for food processing environments, ensuring durability and ease of cleaning.
- Operating speed
- Operating speeds are commonly variable, allowing for adjustment to suit different product types and throughput requirements.
- Footprint
- The footprint of a conveyor is highly variable, depending on its length, width, and configuration (e.g., straight, curved, inclined).
- Hygiene standards
- Units designed for food processing typically meet or exceed relevant hygiene standards such as HACCP, with features for easy cleaning and sanitation.
