Belt
Description |
|
|
Fabric Belt: |
usually
supplied as one continuous piece. |
|
Modular Belt: |
made up of
sections a bit like a jigsaw; pieces can be added or removed as
desired. |

Conveyors
for Small – Medium Unit (Product) Loads |
|
 Belt
Conveyor
A conveyor which has an endless flat
belt, which is driven by a motor usually SEW, Interroll or Lenze.
The width of the belt can be varied
to accommodate the type of product that is to be conveyed.
Belt conveyors can be fixed speed or
variable speed this depending on the controls system chosen for
the application.
The belt conveyor is configured to
run in a straight line. |
|
Plastic Modular Belt Conveyor
This conveyor is formed from a
series of slats that can be adjusted to suit various applications.
This type of conveyor is commonly
used for optimized throughput in high volume operations where
there is space limitations.
This conveyor also can be fixed or
variable speed dependent on application. |
|
Conveyor Bend
A conveyor that conveys product
around a curve; the angle can be at, for example 45°, 90°, 180°
bend, although not exhaustive this is dependent on the product,
and to what degree you would require for the application. |
|
Flighted Belt Conveyor
An inclined belt conveyor fitted
with flights and or retentive sides this enables products from
slipping back/off the conveyor.
This conveyor is commonly used for
boxed product, also for individual products i.e roast potatoes,
frozen chicken. |
|
Wire Conveyors
These conveyors are made in the same principle as belt conveyors
but using wire mesh instead of a fabric/plastic modular belt.
This design is used for a variety of
reasons such as cooling product as it is conveyed, as the belt is
wire it gives air ventilation aiding the product to cool quicker.
This conveyor also has ease of
cleaning from possible falling particles from the product. |
|
 Slat
Band Conveyor
This conveyor is formed of a series of slats which are linked
together to form a continuous flat surface.
The slats can be made of stainless
steel or plastic and articulate in one plane for straight
conveyors and in two planes to allow products to be taken around a
corner.
The common use of this application
is to convey bottles and cans where very low friction between the
slat band and the product is particularly important to prevent the
products from toppling over. |
