Conveyor systems are classified by their mechanism and application: flat belt conveyors — continuous rubber or synthetic belt driven by head and tail pulleys; the most versatile format for horizontal and inclined transport of packages, parts, and unit loads; belt materials include PVC (standard), polyurethane (food-grade), intralox modular plastic, and rubber cleated belts for inclines; roller conveyors — arrays of cylindrical rollers on a frame; gravity roller for inclined or manual-push applications; powered belt-driven roller (BDR) or line-shaft roller for motorised unit load handling; zero-pressure accumulation (ZPA) roller conveyors for damage-free accumulation of cartons; chain conveyors — single or double strand roller chain for heavy pallet loads, automotive component transfer, and high-temperature oven conveyors; modular belt conveyors — interlocking plastic belt segments (Intralox, Habasit, Rexnord) providing hygienic, radius-capable conveyors for food processing; overhead power-and-free (P&F) conveyors — overhead chain systems for automotive body-in-white assembly, paint shop transfer, and general overhead material flow; screw (auger) conveyors — rotating helical screw inside a trough for bulk powder, grain, and semi-liquid materials; bucket elevators — vertical elevation of bulk materials (grain, minerals, seeds); and sortation systems — shoe sorter, pop-up sorter, tilt tray sorter, cross-belt sorter for high-speed e-commerce and parcel sorting. Key specifications for conveyor selection: belt/chain width (mm), conveyor length (m), load capacity (kg/m or kg per carrier), speed (m/min), incline angle (degrees), frame material (carbon steel, stainless steel for food), belt or chain material, and drive motor power (kW) and drive frequency inverter specification.
Frequently asked questions
What food-grade standards apply to conveyor systems for food processing?
Food processing conveyors must comply with multiple hygiene and material standards: EU Food Contact Materials Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004 covers materials that contact food — conveyor belts must be manufactured from food-grade materials (EU Food Contact or FDA 21 CFR compliant polyurethane, polyester, or UHMWPE for food contact belts); EHEDG (European Hygienic Engineering and Design Group) guidelines provide hygienic design principles for food machinery including conveyor frames, belt supports, and drive mechanisms — avoiding horizontal surfaces, dead zones, and hard-to-clean joints; IP69K rating for high-pressure washdown capability; stainless steel 304 or 316 frame construction; FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 for polyolefin belts; USDA AMS approval for dairy and meat conveyors in the US; and 3-A Sanitary Standards for dairy applications. Intralox, Habasit, and Siegling (Forbo) are the leading food-grade modular and flat belt manufacturers whose belts are specified in European and US food processing. Many Chinese conveyor manufacturers can supply to food-grade specifications — verify belt material certificates (FDA/EU FCA), frame material mill certificates (304/316 SS), and weld quality standards (No. 4 or mirror finish on food contact welds).
What is a typical price range for wholesale conveyor systems from China?
Indicative prices for standard conveyor sections from Chinese manufacturers: Standard 600mm-wide belt conveyor (5m length, single-head drive, PVC belt): USD 800–1,800. Stainless steel food-grade belt conveyor (600mm wide, 3m): USD 2,000–5,000. Motorised roller conveyor (600mm wide, 5m, ZPA roller accumulation): USD 1,500–4,000. Heavy-duty pallet chain conveyor (1,200mm wide, 10m): USD 5,000–15,000. Complete sortation system (30m × 20-outlet shoe sorter for e-commerce): USD 300,000–800,000 for complete engineered system. Lead times: standard sections from stock: 2–4 weeks. Custom lengths and widths: 4–8 weeks. Complete engineered systems with integration: 12–26 weeks.
