Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from 500 kg/hr to 3000 kg/hr, depending on product density and belt speed.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, a 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz electrical supply is typically required, with a motor rating often between 0.37 kW and 1.5 kW.

Belt width

Belt widths typically vary from 300mm to 600mm, influencing the volume and size of product that can be conveyed.

Incline angle

The incline angle is commonly adjustable or fixed between 30 and 45 degrees, suitable for elevating various products without rollback.

Construction material

Units are typically constructed from stainless steel (grade 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability, particularly in food processing environments.

Footprint

The overall footprint will depend on the length and height of the conveyor, but typically requires a floor area of 2m x 1m up to 5m x 1.5m.
