Why are belt conveyors not priced per meter?

The price of belt conveyor is not calculated per meter, in fact, because of the following 6 important reasons:

First, the configuration difference:

Motor power: different length, inclination, conveying capacity size of the conveyor, need to be equipped with different power motor, according to the material to choose whether the explosion-proof, etc., all affect the cost.

Belt material: material selection (such as rubber – thickness, core material; PVC, etc.) affect the price.

Bracket structure: material, thickness and design of the bracket will also increase the cost.
Second, installation and commissioning

Installation complexity: installation difficulty and time required vary from project to project (e.g., on-site guided installation and online guided installation), affecting the total price.

Commissioning requirements: commissioning workload and required technology will also increase the cost.

Third. Transportation Costs

Transportation distance: Transportation costs vary greatly with distance and the size of the belt conveyor’s own footprint.

Packaging requirements: special packaging will add extra costs (such as export wooden box packaging, etc.).

Fourth, customization requirements

Special design: customized design (such as inclined, vertical, mobile, etc.) will increase costs.
Fifth. After-sales service

Warranty period: different manufacturers provide different warranty period and service content, affecting the price. (General belt conveyor equipment warranty period of one year, which does not include wearing parts.)

Maintenance support: the quality of after-sales service will also be reflected in the total price.
Sixth, the market factors

Supply and demand: market demand and competitive conditions affect pricing.

Brand premium: well-known brands may be priced higher. Belt conveyor prices are affected by a variety of factors, calculated per meter can not accurately reflect the actual cost, so the overall offer is usually used.

So the overall consideration, belt conveyor equipment belongs to the customized class of equipment, not ordinary conveyor type can be calculated according to how much money per meter offer. Each site is different, the material is different, the conveyor requirements are different, the price difference is very large! It is recommended that the purchase of more consultation with manufacturers, according to the program selected for their own site belt conveyor equipment!
