Belt conveyors typically operate at speeds of 1 to 10 meters per second, depending on the application. Roller conveyors generally run at slower speeds, around 0.3 to 1 meter per second, due to their gravity-based or powered nature. Pneumatic conveyors, depending on material type, can operate at speeds ranging from 5 to 30 meters per second. The speed of the conveyor can be worked into the design to help accommodate the end user.
