- Typical throughput
- Throughput for this class of equipment can vary significantly, typically ranging from hundreds of kilograms to several tonnes per hour, depending on product density and belt speed.
- Power supply
- Conveyors of this type commonly operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz in the UK.
- Belt material
- Belts are typically food-grade, often made from PU (polyurethane) or PVC (polyvinyl chloride) for hygiene and durability.
- Frame material
- For food processing applications, the frame and side guides are almost exclusively stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) to meet hygiene standards.
- Mobility
- Many smaller to medium-sized units are mobile, often fitted with lockable castors for flexible placement within a facility.
- Cleaning access
- Units are typically designed for easy cleaning, often featuring open frames and quick-release belt mechanisms.
