The price of a Skirt belt conveyor  may range from $200 to $5,000, depending on several key parameters. The main factors affecting its price include but are not limited to the conveying length of the equipment, the lifting height, the width of the conveyor belt, and the specific characteristics of the materials to be handled. In addition, the selected drive system configuration, the material of the frame, the degree of automation, etc. will also directly affect the final quotation. Therefore, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the technical requirements and configuration selection of the equipment in a specific application scenario, which directly determine the final quotation.

What are the types of skirt belt conveyors?

The types of skirt belt conveyors are usually divided according to their conveying angles and layouts, mainly large-angle, horizontal and Z-type. Different types differ in manufacturing costs and applicable conveying volumes.

Skirt belt conveyor with large inclination angle

Skirt belt conveyor with large inclination angle can achieve significant lifting of materials, even reaching vertical conveying. The conveying volume that this type of conveyor can handle under the same floor space is usually limited by its bandwidth and lifting speed, but its main advantage is that it can achieve elevation conveying that is difficult to achieve with traditional conveying methods. From a price perspective, the initial investment is usually relatively high because its structure requires a stronger conveyor belt (with high skirts and partitions), a more complex drive system and possibly a more robust support structure to handle the load and safety requirements of vertical lifting.

Horizontal Skirt belt conveyor

While the steep inclination is the main feature of the skirt belt, it can also be used for horizontal conveying. In this application, the main function of the skirt and partition is to prevent the material from scattering during the conveying process, especially for occasions where precise control of material boundaries or prevention of contamination is required. The conveying capacity of the horizontal Skirt belt conveyor is mainly determined by the belt width and speed, which is similar to that of traditional flat belt conveyors, but the additional ability to prevent material scattering may make it perform better in certain material handling. In terms of price, due to its low inclination requirements and relatively simple structure, it is usually more cost-effective than steep or Z-type skirt conveyors.

Z-type Skirt belt conveyor

The Z-type Skirt belt conveyor combines the characteristics of horizontal conveying and steep inclination lifting to form a "Z"-shaped conveying path. This type has a certain flexibility in conveying volume, and can be adjusted according to the length and angle of the horizontal and inclined sections to adapt to specific process flows. Its price is usually between simple horizontal conveying and pure high-angle vertical conveying, because its design needs to take into account the smooth transition of the horizontal section and the lifting capacity of the inclined section, and the structural complexity is increased. This type is particularly suitable for scenes where materials need to be continuously converted between different heights and horizontal positions.

What are the factors affecting the price of Skirt belt conveyor?

The price of Skirt belt conveyor is affected by many factors, which together determine the final cost of the equipment. The following are the main factors affecting the price of Skirt belt conveyor:

Conveying length and lifting height: This is a direct influencing factor. The longer the conveying distance, or the greater the height required to be lifted, the more components such as conveyor belts, racks, and drive devices are required, and accordingly, the overall cost will increase. Longer distances and higher lifts usually require more powerful motors and more complex structural supports.

Conveying bandwidth: The width of the conveyor belt is directly related to the conveying capacity of the equipment. The larger the bandwidth, the more conveyor belt material is consumed, and the size and strength of components such as racks, rollers, and rollers need to be increased accordingly, resulting in an increase in price. A wider bandwidth means a higher material handling capacity.

Conveying material characteristics: The properties of the material will affect the selection of components. For example, if the conveyed material has corrosive, abrasive or high temperature characteristics, special materials such as conveyor belts, rollers and frames are required, and the price of these special materials is usually higher than that of ordinary materials. The particle size, density, etc. of the material will also affect the selection of partitions and skirts.

Conveying capacity (handling capacity): The amount of material that needs to be conveyed per day or hour is a key consideration. The larger the conveying capacity, the wider the conveyor belt, the stronger the drive system and the more solid the overall structure are, which will push up the cost of the equipment.

Drive system configuration: The power of the drive motor, the type and brand of the reducer, and whether variable frequency speed regulation is used will have a significant impact on the price. A high-performance and high-reliability drive system usually means a higher investment.

Frame structure and material: The material of the frame (such as carbon steel, stainless steel) and the structural form (such as truss type, channel steel type) will affect the stability and durability of the equipment, and thus affect the cost. Stainless steel frames and more complex structures are usually more expensive.

The price of Skirt belt conveyor is the result of interaction. Its price will vary according to the specific project requirements, equipment specifications and configuration details. Factors such as the size of the equipment, the materials used, the drive method, and whether there are additional functional configurations affect the specific pricing of the equipment. In addition, the products of different manufacturers may differ in price due to differences in their production processes, brand positioning and services provided. Users usually have to weigh the investment under different configurations based on their own project's material handling capabilities, equipment operation requirements and specific conditions of the on-site space.
