Not always. The required material depends on the product, packaging, cleaning method and site standards.
Conveyor type selection
Stainless steel conveyors are often considered where cleanability, corrosion resistance or washdown routines are important.

The right specification depends on the environment, cleaning method and product. A dry cosmetic line may not need the same frame design as a wet food or chemical area.
Stainless steel can be used with belt, slat chain or roller formats depending on the product being moved.
