- Typical capacity
- Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from several hundred kilograms to a few tonnes per hour, depending on product density and belt speed.
- Power supply
- Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, suitable for industrial environments.
- Typical footprint
- While specific dimensions vary, conveyors in this category are often available in lengths from 1m to 6m and widths from 200mm to 800mm.
- Material construction
- For food processing applications, the frame and contact parts are typically constructed from 304 or 316 grade stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Mobility
- Many units are designed to be mobile, often fitted with lockable castors for flexible placement within a facility.
- Maintenance requirements
- Routine maintenance typically involves checking belt tension, lubrication of bearings, and ensuring cleanliness, especially in food contact areas.
