- Typical throughput
- Varies significantly based on product density and belt speed, but units of this class commonly handle several tonnes per hour.
- Power supply
- Typically 3-phase industrial electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK, requiring appropriate motor protection.
- Construction material
- For food processing, stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) is standard for hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Belt material
- Food-grade belting, often PVC, PU, or modular plastic, selected for product compatibility and ease of cleaning.
- Elevation range
- Units of this type commonly offer elevation changes from approximately 500mm to over 2000mm, depending on design.
- Footprint
- The base footprint is determined by the horizontal length and incline angle, requiring sufficient floor space for installation and access.
- Cleaning access
- Designs typically incorporate features for easy cleaning, such as open frames or quick-release belt tensioning.
