Belt conveyor prices varies greatly, which is generally closely related to factors such as the model, bandwidth, conveying length, structural material, motor configuration, and whether it is customized. For example, a small mobile belt conveyor with a bandwidth of 500mm and a length of 5 meters may cost between US$400 and US$800; while a large heavy-duty belt conveyor with a bandwidth of 800mm and a length of 20 meters for industrial and mining transportation may cost more than US$5,000. Customized equipment such as food-grade, retractable or multi-layered belt conveyors are more expensive. In addition, the purchase quantity and bulk purchase will also affect the final quotation. Generally, the more the quantity, the lower the unit price.
There are many types of belt conveyors, and the following are common classification methods. According to the installation method, there are fixed and mobile types; fixed types are often used in continuous production lines, and mobile types are suitable for temporary operations and frequent transfers. According to the structural function, there are inclined, horizontal and retractable types; the inclined type is suitable for loading operations, and the retractable type is often used for loading and unloading vehicles in logistics warehousing. According to the use industry, there are general-purpose, food-grade, explosion-proof, heavy-duty industrial types, etc. According to the belt material, there are rubber belts, PVC belts, PU belts, steel mesh belts and chain belts, and different materials are suitable for different environments and materials.
Dahan Machinery is one of the more mature conveying equipment manufacturers in China. Its belt conveyor product models are complete, and the price varies according to function and configuration. In US dollars, a fixed belt conveyor with a bandwidth of 500mm and a length of 5 meters costs about US$700.

When choosing a belt conveyor, the first thing to consider is the type of material being conveyed, whether it is powder, granular material or packaged goods. Different materials have different requirements for bandwidth, belt material and structural stability. Secondly, it is necessary to clarify the conveying distance and conveying height, which will determine the conveyor belt length and motor power. If there is a need for inclined conveying, it is necessary to consider the conveying angle and whether to use skirt belts or baffles. For occasions with limited space or frequent transfer, a mobile or retractable structure should be selected. If it is used in the food or pharmaceutical industry, food-grade materials must be selected and meet the standards. Finally, factors such as operating frequency, working environment (such as whether it is humid, hot or flammable), and whether linkage control with other equipment is required should also be considered.
In a feed processing plant, the customer ordered a mobile inclined belt conveyor with a bandwidth of 500mm, an inclination angle of 20 degrees, and a length of 12 meters. It is used for grain storage and loading conveyor lines to transport rice from the ground to transport trucks. It is equipped with universal wheels and a lifting angle of 15°. The whole set of equipment runs stably and has side guards to prevent materials from sliding, which greatly improves the level of automation.
Effect: Improve loading efficiency by about 40% and reduce labor intensity
In a cement plant, the customer used a heavy-duty fixed belt conveyor with a width of 800mm and a length of 30m produced by Dahan to continuously transport limestone raw materials to the crushing section.
Effect: Continuous operation throughout the day, low failure rate, and stable operation
In a building materials factory, the customer ordered a heavy-duty rubber belt conveyor with a width of 800mm and a length of 30 meters to transport limestone from the crusher to the batching bin. There are also customers in the logistics industry who use retractable belt conveyors for truck loading and unloading operations. The equipment can automatically retract according to the length of the carriage and supports variable frequency speed regulation, which greatly saves manual handling time.
