Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment can range from a few hundred kilograms to several tonnes per hour, depending on belt width and incline angle.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, a 3-phase industrial power supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) is typically required for motor operation.

Belt material

Belts are typically food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic, selected for durability and hygiene in food environments.

Incline angle

The incline angle is commonly fixed or adjustable, typically ranging from 15 to 45 degrees, depending on the product and application.

Footprint

The overall footprint will vary significantly based on belt length, width, and incline height, requiring adequate floor space and headroom.

Construction material

Frames are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance in food processing environments.
