Construction and Durability
A conveyor belt should be constructed well. It should accommodate the materials and products you transfer across your warehouse. High-quality plastic, woven metal, and other materials can convey items of different weights.
Before buying, inspect the belt's current state. Check for any frayed edges, rusting, and sharp edges. While it's running, ask the seller about any misalignment issues. Furthermore, ask them if the conveyor belt is still under warranty and if it's transferable.
Surface Characteristics
Pre-owned conveyor belts and their systems should have a smooth surface free of sharp edges. Rough surfaces will cause damaging friction. Some might have cleats or raised areas that may or may not work well for the products and materials you relay.
Well-maintained belts have surface characteristics that remain smooth and well-worn. In some cases, sellers might throw in a new belt if you buy their entire set. You can ask the seller to provide a bonus belt if you intend to buy more than their offer.
Special Features
Various businesses need the different features of a used conveyor belt. Food processors need hygienic and smooth belts made from plastic or stainless steel. Alternatively, electronic manufacturers might need anti-static features to prevent damage to bare products and components.
