These dimensions are given as a guide only, as they depend on the technological capabilities of the conveyor belt in question. Each mill has its own limitations, depending on its construction and environment: for example, the maximum width may be determined by the construction of the roller table and the cage rollers, and the maximum weight by the construction of the coilers and reheating furnaces, etc.
