Used Belt Conveyors
Belt conveyors transport products and bulk materials using a continuous loop of flexible belting stretched between drive and idler pulleys. The flat or troughed belt surface carries loads horizontally, at an incline, or through curves, while motor-driven pulleys control speed and direction.
Federal Equipment Company stocks belt conveyors from 2.5" to 60" wide and up to 83’ long. Available configurations include horizontal units for packaging lines, inclined conveyors with cleated belts for elevation changes, vibratory feeders, and trough-style systems for bulk material handling. Stainless steel and carbon steel construction options address sanitary and general industrial requirements.

Belt Conveyor Types and Construction
Belt conveyors serve applications ranging from light-duty packaging transport to heavy bulk material handling. Smooth belt designs provide continuous flat surfaces for cartons, bottles, and packaged goods. Cleated belts feature raised flights that grip products during inclined transport, preventing rollback on slopes. Trough-style configurations form the belt into a U-shape to contain bulk materials like powders and granules during transfer.
Federal Equipment Company carries belt conveyors from Hytrol, Eriez, JVI Vibratory Equipment, Nercon, Dorner, and other established manufacturers. Inventory includes standard horizontal units, adjustable incline systems, magnetic conveyors for ferrous material separation, and specialty pharmaceutical designs. Equipment can be inspected and tested at our Cleveland facility prior to purchase.
Applications & Industries

- Ingredient conveying in food and beverage manufacturing
- Parts transfer between assembly and inspection stations
- Elevation changes between processing levels using inclined configurations
Specifications & Configurations
Belt conveyors in stock range from 2.5" to 60" wide with lengths from approximately 5’ to over 80’. Belt surface options include smooth rubber, plastic modular, cleated rubber with 2" to 4" flights, and perforated designs for drainage applications. Frame materials include 304 stainless steel for sanitary environments and painted carbon steel for general industrial use.
Drive systems range from 0.5 HP fractional motors for light-duty transport to 75 HP drives for long-run bulk handling. Standard configurations include horizontal fixed-frame units, portable conveyors on casters, adjustable incline systems with variable discharge heights, and bi-directional designs for flexible line layouts. Discharge heights on inclined units reach up to 7’ depending on conveyor length and angle.
Why Buy Used Belt Conveyors
Used belt conveyors from Federal Equipment Company typically cost 40-60% less than new equipment while delivering equivalent performance. Lead times are measured in days rather than the weeks required for new fabrication, allowing faster production line modifications and project completion.
Federal Equipment Company offers inspection services at our facility, where buyers can verify belt condition, test drive systems, and confirm dimensional specifications. Belt replacement and drive motor upgrades are available for units requiring refurbishment. Our technical staff can assist with conveyor selection based on your product characteristics, throughput requirements, and line layout constraints.
