Belt material

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

Frame material

Frames are commonly constructed from stainless steel for food processing environments or painted mild steel for less demanding applications.

Incline angle

Typical incline angles for this equipment range from 15 to 45 degrees, often with cleats or flights to prevent product rollback.

Footprint

The footprint varies significantly with length and width; buyers should consider the overall length required for the desired elevation change.
