- Typical capacity
- Varies significantly; light-duty conveyors typically handle a few kilograms per metre, while heavy-duty units can manage hundreds of kilograms.
- Power supply
- Commonly 230V single-phase or 400V three-phase, depending on motor size and application.
- Belt/Chain material
- Often PVC, PU, rubber, or modular plastic for belts; steel or plastic for chains, selected based on product type and environment.
- Speed range
- Typically adjustable, from very slow (e.g., 0.1 m/s) for assembly to faster speeds (e.g., 1-2 m/s) for bulk transport.
- Footprint
- Highly variable; can range from short, compact units under 2 metres to extensive systems spanning tens of metres.
- Maintenance requirements
- Typically involves regular inspection of belts/chains, bearings, and motors, with lubrication as required.
