Excel Straight Conveyor

• Moving products along a production line in food processing.
• Transporting components between workstations in manufacturing.
• Handling packaged goods in warehousing and logistics.
• Integrating into automated assembly lines for various industries.

Typical length

Straight conveyors of this type commonly range from 1 to 10 metres, though custom lengths are possible.

Belt width

Commonly found with belt widths between 200mm and 800mm, depending on the intended product size.

Belt material

Typically features PVC, PU, or modular plastic belts suitable for various product types and environments.

Frame material

Often constructed from stainless steel for hygiene-critical applications or mild steel for general industrial use.

Power supply

Units of this class commonly operate on 400V 3-phase or 230V single-phase electrical supplies.

Drive type

Typically uses an electric motor with a gearbox, often shaft-mounted or side-mounted.

Speed control
