Excel Straight Conveyor

• Moving products between different processing stages within a production line.
• Transporting packaged goods from a filling or sealing machine to a packing station.
• Transferring components or raw materials in assembly operations.
• Handling waste products or by-products in various industrial settings.

Typical length

Straight conveyors of this type commonly range from 1 to 6 metres, though bespoke lengths are possible.

Typical belt width

Common belt widths for industrial straight conveyors are between 200mm and 1000mm.

Power supply

Units of this class typically require a 3-phase electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) for the motor, though smaller or older units might be single-phase.

Typical speed range

Conveyor speeds are often variable, typically ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 metres per second, depending on the application and motor specification.

Frame material

Frames are commonly constructed from mild steel (painted or powder-coated) or stainless steel, with stainless steel preferred for hygiene-sensitive environments.

Belt material

Belts are typically made from PVC, PU, rubber, or modular plastic, selected based on the product being conveyed and environmental conditions.

• What kind of products can this conveyor handle?

  Straight conveyors are versatile and can handle a wide range of discrete items, packages, and some bulk materials, provided they are stable on the belt surface.

• Is this conveyor suitable for food contact applications?

• What maintenance is typically required for a straight conveyor?

• Can the speed of the conveyor be adjusted?

• What are the typical installation requirements?

Buyers typically value conveyor systems for their reliability and longevity when well-maintained. Key considerations when purchasing used units include belt condition, motor functionality, frame integrity, and available spare parts. Industry sentiment emphasises the importance of verifying operational history and cleanliness standards, particularly for food handling applications. Common strengths include robust construction, relatively straightforward maintenance requirements, and cost savings versus new equipment. Reputable manufacturers' models tend to hold their value well and integrate readily into existing production lines.
