Belt conveyor price
Thursday May-29 2025 11:26:14
The price of a belt conveyor usually ranges from $9 to $5,598. This difference is mainly due to its variable configuration and function. The key factors affecting its price include conveying length, bandwidth and belt material. Conveying length is positively correlated with price. The longer the conveying distance, the more belts, frames, rollers and drive components are required, and the installation and transportation costs also increase, so the price of long-distance conveyors is naturally higher. Bandwidth is also a key factor. The larger the width, the stronger the conveying capacity, but the belt usage, roller size and frame strength requirements also increase, leading to price increases. The impact of belt material on price is also very obvious. Ordinary rubber belts are relatively low in cost, while those with special properties will be significantly more expensive. The main function of belt conveyors is to realize horizontal or inclined conveying of materials, and they are widely used in the continuous transportation of bulk materials and piece goods. It can smoothly transfer materials from one location to another, adapting to the material handling needs of different industries.
What are the effects of conveying length on price?
The conveying length (i.e. the center distance or total length of the belt conveyor) is the primary factor affecting the price. Longer lengths mean more belts, more idlers, longer frame structures, longer drive chains or shafts, and possibly more powerful drives.Short distances (e.g. 5m - 15m): A general purpose belt conveyor with a 500mm-800mm width and a length of 5m may cost between $25 and $600. When the length increases to 10m, the price may rise to $30-$300. When the length reaches 15m, the price may be around $45-$600.
Medium distances (e.g. 20m - 50m): A 20m length belt conveyor with a 800mm-1000mm width may cost between $40-$1200. When the length reaches 50m, the price may be $100-$3000 or more, depending on the specific configuration.
Long distance conveying (e.g. more than 100 meters, even hundreds of meters to kilometers): Long distance conveyors usually require customized designs, including more complex drive systems (possibly multi-point drive), tensioning devices, more durable belts (such as wire rope core belts), and more solid frames and foundations. The price of such conveyors may range from $20 to $6,000 or even higher. For example, a heavy-duty belt conveyor with a length of 100 meters and a bandwidth of 1,000 mm may cost $30-$8,000.
What is the impact of bandwidth on price?
Bandwidth (the width of the belt) directly determines the conveying capacity of the belt conveyor and has a significant impact on the price. The larger the bandwidth, the more obvious the price jump.Narrow bandwidth (e.g. 300mm-500mm): A belt conveyor with a bandwidth of 300mm (about 10 meters in length) may cost between $10-$30. A belt conveyor with a 500mm bandwidth (about 10 meters in length) may cost between $15 and $45. This type is often used for light materials or small-scale conveying.
Medium bandwidth (for example: 650mm - 1000mm): A belt conveyor with a 650mm bandwidth (about 10-20 meters in length) may cost between $30 and $80. A belt conveyor with a 800mm bandwidth (about 10-20 meters in length) may cost between $40 and $1200. This type is a common specification in the industry and has a strong conveying capacity. A belt conveyor with a 1000mm bandwidth (about 10-20 meters in length) may cost between $60 and $1800.
Wide bandwidth (for example: 1200mm - 2000mm or larger): A belt conveyor with a 1200mm bandwidth (about 10-20 meters in length) may cost between $80 and $2500. Conveyors with a bandwidth of 1400mm - 2000mm or even larger may cost $300 to $4000 per unit, or even higher.
What are the effects of belt material on price?
The material of the belt determines its basic performance and scope of application, and the cost of different materials varies significantly.Ordinary rubber conveyor belt (EP/NN fabric core rubber belt): has good wear resistance, tensile strength and elasticity. Taking a belt width of 800mm as an example, the price of ordinary EP fabric core rubber conveyor belt (such as EP200-EP400, the price varies depending on the number of layers) may be between $8 and $20 per meter. For a conveyor with a length of 10 meters, the cost of the belt alone may be between $80 and $200. The price of the whole machine may be between $150 and $4000 (including the belt) at the above bandwidth and length.
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) conveyor belt: light, soft, easy to clean, with certain flame retardancy and chemical resistance. The cost of PVC conveyor belts is usually between ordinary rubber belts and PU belts. Taking a belt width of 800mm as an example, the price per meter may be between $10 and $30. For a 10-meter conveyor, the belt cost may be $100-$300. The price of the whole machine may be $200-$4000 at the same bandwidth and length.
Silicone conveyor belt: It has excellent high temperature resistance, anti-stickiness, chemical resistance, and non-toxicity. Silicone belts are relatively expensive types of conveyor belts. Taking a belt width of 800mm as an example, the price per meter may be between $50 and $150, or even higher. For a 10-meter-long conveyor, the belt cost may be between $500 and $1,500. The price of the whole machine may be between $500 and $2,000 or more at the same bandwidth and length.
