- Typical capacity
- Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from hundreds of kilograms to several tonnes per hour, depending on product density and belt speed.
- Power supply
- Commonly operates on standard industrial three-phase power, typically 400V, 50Hz, with motor sizes varying based on load and elevation requirements.
- Construction material
- Units designed for food processing, such as this one, are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Belt type
- Modular plastic belts are commonly used for their durability, ease of cleaning, and suitability for various food products.
- Elevation range
- Elevator conveyors typically offer a significant change in height, often from floor level to several metres, to integrate with other machinery.
- Footprint
- The overall length and width are determined by the required elevation, incline angle, and belt width, with a typical length for this type of unit being a few metres.
- Hygiene standards
- Units intended for food contact are typically designed to meet HACCP principles and facilitate thorough cleaning.
