• Feeding processing machinery such as mixers, fillers, or packaging lines.
• Elevating products for inspection, sorting, or quality control stations.
• Moving waste products or by-products to collection points.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can range from several hundred kilograms to multiple tonnes per hour, depending on belt width and speed.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, power requirements are typically 3-phase industrial supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) for motor operation.

Belt material

Belts are typically food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic, chosen for hygiene and resistance to specific products.

Incline angle

Incline angles commonly range from 15 to 45 degrees, often featuring flights or cleats to prevent product rollback.

Construction material

The frame is typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability in food processing environments.

Footprint

The footprint varies significantly based on length, width, and incline angle, requiring buyers to verify available space.
