- Typical throughput
- Throughput for this class of equipment is typically determined by belt speed and product size, often ranging from several hundred to several thousand items per hour.
- Power supply
- Conveyors of this type commonly operate on 3-phase industrial power, typically 400V, 50Hz, though single-phase options (230V) are also available for smaller units.
- Motor power
- Motor power for a conveyor of this size and application typically ranges from 0.18kW to 0.75kW, depending on load and desired speed.
- Frame material
- For food processing applications, frames are almost exclusively constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Belt material
- Slat chain belts are commonly made from food-grade plastics (e.g., acetal, polypropylene) or stainless steel, chosen for durability and specific product contact requirements.
- Footprint
- The overall footprint will be slightly larger than the stated belt dimensions, accommodating the motor, frame, and supports. Buyers should allow for access space.
- Hygiene standards
- Units designed for food processing typically adhere to high hygiene standards, facilitating easy cleaning and preventing product contamination.
