• Buffering products before further processing or packing.

Typical belt width

Commonly ranges from 300mm to 800mm, depending on product size and throughput requirements.

Typical conveying height

For high-level units, discharge heights are typically between 1.5m and 3m, adjustable to suit specific line requirements.

Construction material

Typically features a durable stainless steel frame and food-grade belting (e.g., PU, PVC) for hygienic operation.

Power supply

Commonly operates on a 3-phase supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with a low power draw for energy efficiency.

Throughput

Varies significantly with belt speed and product characteristics; units of this type are designed for continuous, consistent flow.

Maintenance requirements

Generally low, focusing on regular cleaning, belt tensioning, and motor/bearing checks.
