Typical Industries Assembly Line | Food Manufacture and Processing | General Production | Parcel & Packing | Warehouse & Logistics Description The traditional belt system for general lightweight carrying duties Used for General movement of lightweight material, including food, packages, aggregates, powders etc. Excels with smaller items, or items requiring very smooth and jolt-free movement Not suitable for Very heavy items, or anything sharp and/or abrasive The traditional industrial workhorse, belt conveyors complement the powered roller conveyor. Belt conveyor can accommodate almost anything: from discrete packages to small components; powders to aggregates, Whereas a roller conveyor can only handle larger items with a flat lower surface and a low centre of gravity. Items that might be prone to toppling are less likely to do so on a belt conveyor than they are on a powered roller conveyor. They can also handle semi-solid or sticky items such as clay or bread dough etc. The belt conveyor is very flexible, able to form bends, as well as gradients. It also permits a very wide range of belt material and geometry, including such things as antibacterial belts for the food industry, contoured and/or flighted belts for aggregate handling, wire mesh belts (to allow air or liquid to circulate around a product), and a wealth of other applications. The limitation of a conventional belt conveyor is – ultimately – the carrying weight. Beyond a certain weight threshold, the belt will begin to slip. At this point you might need to consider a chain-driven belt conveyor, or possibly a platelink conveyor. The latter is also the conveyor of choice for sharp or abrasive products that might puncture or tear a conventional conveyor belt.
