What are you transporting is it cold or hot, fragile or abrasive. So you should choose belts which posses’ resistant properties for it to be able to transport the goods.

Space

Conveyor systems are limited to space available. The drive geometry is calculated by the belt’s drive dimensions. The geometry determines the length of the conveyor system and ensures it fits into the allotted space.
